How about the attached patch?

I think the original purpose of that code in debian/rules was to force
the manual to always be rebuilt. Unfortunately it moves 'manual.docbook'
out of the way (as if it was autogenerated) but it looks like this is
the master manual which is directly edited.

My alternate implementation simply touches the master manuals which
should hopefully force everything to be rebuilt as well.

Thanks,
James
