To be able to upload to official Debian, I need to have a manpage for
each program uploaded in the package. I wrote a long time ago a small
manpage for pgadmin3 and I am about to write one for pgagent.

Here are some questions:
- wouldn't it be a good thing that pgadmin3.1 is pushed out of
pkg/debian to a more proper place and included in the make install process?
- what tools should we use to write our manpages? Something like xml or
whatever? I mean, if we are about to do something to automate html help
generation and other thing I'm not aware of, maybe it would be a good
thing to unify the way we work.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Raph
