Today morning I had time to play with it and it seems that we can
distribute man pages as well as adoc in the same tarbal, the size
change is not so big:

5956904  util-linux-2.37.42-308a1-dirty.tar.xz
5863940  util-linux-2.37.tar.xz

 ~1.5% up, that's something we can ignore.

It also seems that autotools are smart enough to keep the man pages
synchronized with adoc without any significant changes to our build
system.

Yes, that's what I understand.
