There are various things one can do to try to make the output of a man page generator like that more consistent, but they don't fix the problem, just reduce its frequency, unless Debian sets up to do a fully reproducible build with pinned versions of everything (which I don't think we want to do).
Agreed, it's not a complete fix, but I'd expect the frequency of changes in the output besides the version number to be low enough for this to be the least-effort solution.
If it means we need to trigger a rebuild of a few packages every few years, then this thread has already used more time.
