Not seeing any obvious man[1358] references in Linux distro RPM specs/builds: 
presumably rely on man-pages.

Gentoo reported https://bugs.gentoo.org/920035 sys-libs/timezone-data: installs 
man3 manpages without corresponding libraries.

Some BSDs seem to customize utilities and man pages (or use old releases) based 
on online man pages.

What about updating glibc/manual/time.texi, and are any (non-info) docs or man 
pages generated from that in any distro or downstream?
