Am I right that you’re building from a Git checkout?

The problem is that the Makefile rules for man pages are meant for
developers building the tarball; the tarball already includes man pages,
so someone building from the tarball doesn’t trigger any of these rules.

The changes below fix dependencies, but it also means that now everyone
will be building man pages from source, even if they’re already included
in the tarball.  That’s probably the right thing to do longer term, but
I’d rather not do it in the middle of a stable series.

WDYT?
