Not having a clue what could have caused this regression, I bisected the
problem and found commit f9999ffaa5 ("dh_installman: Split manpages
between processes") the culprit.  Attached is a patch that restores
previous behavior of dh_installman and makes freebsd-manpages build for
me. :-)

Cheers,
       Sven
