We do have a man page for xtrabackup (doc/xtrabackup.1 in the source tree). There are 2 problems with it:

- I think it's no longer maintained
- it's not included into binary packages

For 1.6 we should probably just update the build scripts to package it.

For 1.7 we should remove xtrabackup.1 from the source tree and generate it from Sphinx docs (not sure it's possible to have dedicated xtrabackup/innobackupex man pages with the current doc layout). And yes, update the build scripts too :)

We should just target 2.0 and higher.

we should see if we can extract man page using sphinx/perldoc

This will also have to be added to the packaging.
