No reason to touch those: If no tar.bz2 sources are available from
postgresql.org, it shouldn't be used. Simple enough. If tar.bz2
sources show up, we would be happy to use them.

Bzipping of man pages is useless - and the way to handle it would be
by not compressing at all in the specfile, as you can then handle it
with an RPM build policy.
