Hi there,

Interested novelist here.

>     * `--with-doc` configure option removed upstream, builds/installs docs by default

Half-true.  Docs are built by the default `make` target, but `install-doc` is still required to install them.  This is an Automake convention that I am not thrilled with.

>     * `${DESTDIR}/usr/lib` is empty, so no more `libgroff` - although can't find it mentioned in the changelog (which is [a whole novel](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/ChangeLog.123))

It wasn't ever supposed to be there.  `libgroff`, like a handful of others in the _groff_ source tree, is internal.  It has no published or supported API, it is not documented at all, it is built as a static object, and it is statically linked with the executables that need it.  If anyone was ever shipping `libgroff.a`, they were in error.
