-source. Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in

+If you patch a man page or other XML documentation in the package, it
+is important to include a patch both to the xml file and the resulting
+nroff or other sources in your patch. much of the man pages is
+installed in Multi-Arch: same packages, so the resulting documents
+need to be identical. The best way to guarantee this is to include
+the resulting document in the source.
