How to import new upstream versions of freebsd-manpages
=======================================================
1. Edit the wanted upstream version at top of debian/rules. Keep the
minor version even on a major release, e.g. use "11.0" instead of
just "11". Uncomment the BETA-… line if you intent to package a
pre-release upstream version.
2. Run "debian/rules get-orig-source". This will download the whole
base.txz file of the wanted release (usually around 70 MB), extract
all man pages from it and repack them into a fresh .orig.tar.xz tar
ball.
3. If this directory was used for building previous upstream versions
of the package, remove the whole "share" directory.
4. Unpack the .orig.tar.xz created in step 2 while stripping the
leading "./usr/":
tar xvJ --strip-components=2 -f ../freebsd-manpages_….orig.tar.xz
5. Update debian/changelog with regards to the new upstream release
and see if the package still builds.
