I hope you will use SGML/DocBook to write the man pages. You can use the
docbook-to-man tool comming with Debian. SGML makes the maintenace easier
then troff files. If you are interested in examples take a look
here:
http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/dpkg-cross/?cvsroot=dpkg-cross

I've contributed them to dpkg-cross (previous troff files). The Makefile
contains the docbook-to-man call.

You will find the DocBook manual at http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/
