I'm looking below and I don't see more about the versioning, can you clarify
this for me?

The Debian manpage has also been committed on sourceforge under patches, so I
downloaded that one. However, I'm not able to follow the sourceforge guidelines
for this link.

There's a second manpage, which covers more of the documentation, and I would
like to use that one, but I has some unwanted references to a screenshot list
in its intro. I'm considering rewriting it a bit and then use it, what are your
thoughts on that?

Now using install -D -p -m 0655 for the nmon.1 manpage.

I have mailed Nigel using sourceforges mailing system, as I'm unable to find
any other contact information, and asked for inclusion of license file and
header, manpage, and tarball releases. The projects mailing list has a total of
2 messages, from the same person as he never received an answer, I'm guessing
nobody reads it.

I could make feature requests for the above, but I'm not a fan of that, as it
has nothing to do with the functionality of the program. 

> -manpages should not be marked %doc

Removed %doc.
