I've just realized that the HTML documentation in
libhdf5-doc_1.8.6-1_all.deb is outdated, it still refers to HDF5 v1.8.4.

Also there is a problem with the reference manual that does not contain
the actual function descriptions (see [1]). Attached to [1] there is a
small script that could be useful to fix the issue.

Please consider to include updated docs in the next package release.
If you agree, I could take in charge to commit the fix directly on the
git repo.

I also wonder if it make sense to include a small script like the one
attached to [1] or maybe a makefile rule to automate the update of
the HDF5 documentation.
