From 438763b6e231410b95b5e352feb65c63cd54de6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org>
Date: Fri, 7 Nov 2014 16:19:57 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] If we have man-db, don't try and emulate man's pipeline

Just let man itself do the formatting / zsoelim / ... dance.

Debian bug#764792 <https://bugs.debian.org/764792>
