While this change is harmless, I think we can generally expect "man" to
be available.  Does the program crash if man-db is not installed?  Or
does it print an actionable error message?

In the latter case I'm inclined to leave things as-is, in the former
case let's patch it.  But no strong opinion, mostly curious :-)
