I just uploaded a new version of pasdoc to the Debian archive, but in
the process I filed two bugs, one against debhelper (bug #958343) and
one against help2man (bug #958345). It turns out that a recent help2man
started to create invalid .TH lines in the produced man file. It seems
to be very much related to what pasdoc output on the first line.
Apparently that's a bit unconventional.

No need to adapt, as I work around it now, but you *may* want to be in
line with other programs.

Paul
