Hi, y'all! You fixed the library name before i could complain ;) And 
redid the manpages ...:

I) Now the '.so' links refer to '../manXggi/manX/...'. I'm sure this 
would trigger even more bugreports :), than the one to forward to you:

II) >>
Bug#159153: libgii0-dev: manpages in section 9?

 ... gii_key_event.9gii.gz    gii_valuator_event.9gii.gz

According to "man man" section 9 is for kernel routines, and is 
nonstandard.
I think these manpages belong to section 7.  Please rename and move 
>>

I'ld rather prefer man5 (file formats), but see man7 to be a 'safe' 
(although rather crowded) place.

In the very moment i prepare a patch for '...-rc2.tar.bz2' to fix the 
'.so' lines as well as moving the man9 pages to man7 just after 
building the libs and before installing to the debian package.

III) I very much apreciate the docs from the webpage, made a (still) 
unofficial debian package from your HTML version. I haven't yet found a 
way to format the xml myself using standard debian packages and so 
cannot prepare a reasonable source package. Any hints?
