Aha! I think I've figured it out. The Debian diff.gz file changes manpages.nw, so then when the package gets built it tries to rebuild the manpages, even though they already exist. (That change seems to have been made in version 2.11b-1.4.) So I guess the solution is to touch the already existing manpages, so that they get a newer date than manpages.nw, just like is done for noroff, etc.

... I've notice on my own
system that although noweb 2.11b-1.4 is installed, the man pages for
noroots and notangle claim to be from versions 2.8.  This is obviously
a problem.  I'll look into it when time permits.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the 2.8 comes from. I've been doing some test builds of noweb, and right now, the notangle manpage has the correct version.
