Re the use of help2man:

mapreri had concerns on IRC this might interfere with cross-builds.

I tend to think that help2man should never be used automatically,
only ever as a starting point for writing a proper manual page,
since it does not add any value over using the --help options.

For Python stuff a better option is to use sphinx and sphinx-argparse
or sphinxcontrib-autoprogram so as to not duplicate docs between the
code and the manual page.
