You need tons of stuff installed just to build them.
On a fresh installation, i always need to install half a gig of stuff
i never need otherwise, just to be able to "make dist" on pm-utils.
This is ok for me, but a casual user who just wants to install a handful
of scripts should not be forced to install all this docbook stuff.
And maybe he wants to take a look at the manpages even before considering
installing pm-utils?

Short: the manpages should be ready-to-use in the tarball, IMVHO.
