docbook-to-man serves a different purpose: creating a manual page from a XML format. Instead, help2man is useful for creating manual pages from the existing options implemented in the binary. For Debian packages, the best solution is probably to regenerate the manual page at every major upstream version, and to put it in the debian/ directory. BTW, there is another package which does this, and which is likely to cause you much more trouble: python. The build system compiles the modules using the generated python binary. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
