Thanks for your mails.  Normally the best thing to do would be to file
a bug at the Debian bug tracking system.  However, before filing a bug
you should probably check to see if it's been filed already.  And
indeed it has: http://bugs.debian.org/391606 .

I haven't looked into this at the code level myself but Roland
Stigge's last comment bug #391606 suggests that more is needed than
just putting the processed output into the man directories - the pod
files need to be removed, as well.

Ian.
