Hi,

Apologies for missing this; I wrongly assumed that sbuild installed recommended
packages by default, and this probably made be blind to the truth as I grepped
"apt-cache show pandoc" for pandoc-data...  We only see what we want to see :(

The problem is indeed that pandoc-data is not pulled by pandoc at build time,
For the purpose of building manpages with pandoc, the solution is either to
build-depend on pandoc-data, or to make pandoc depend instead of recommend
pandoc-data.

Let me know which solution you prefer.

Bonne journée !
