New review comment by Duncaen on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38253#discussion_r928324791 Comment: This is just used to format and then compress the man page, `xbps-src` uncompresses it again. If you set `make_build_args="MANFORMAT="` and `make_install_args="MANFORMAT="` it should work without that extra dependency and will just install the uncompressed mandoc file.
