Comment:

 OK, Debian (and probably lots of other Linux distributions) doesn't have
 the problem, because they use `man-db` from http://man-db.nongnu.org/ as
 their `man` package. As their `man2html`, they use
 http://users.actrix.gen.nz/michael/vhman2html.html which has been merged
 into http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/man/, which is the source for
 our `man` package. Our `man2html` comes from
 http://dcssrv1.oit.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html.

 I suggest we obsolete the `man2html` port in favor of our current `man`
 port. Opinions?
