Any program (person), that produces man pages, should check its content for
defects by using
groff -mandoc -t -ww -b -z [ -K utf8 | k ] <man page>
The same goes for man pages that are used as an input.
For a style guide use
mandoc -T lint
-.-
So any generator should check its products with the above mentioned
'groff' and additionally with 'nroff ...'.
This is just a simple quality control measure.
The generator may have to be corrected to get a better man page,
the source file may, and any additional file may.
-.-
The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with:
nroff -man <file1> > <out1>
nroff -man <file2> > <out2>
diff -u <out1> <out2>
and for groff, using
"printf '%s\n%s\n' '.kern 0' '.ss 12 0' | groff -man -Z - "
instead of "nroff -man"
Add the option "-t", if the file contains a table.
Read the output of "diff -u" with "less -R" or similar.

If "man" (man-db) is used to check the manual for warnings,
the following must be set:

export MAN_KEEP_STDERR=yes (or any non-empty value)
or
