Hm... Raising the priority to "Low".

And yes, it's policy (and I've state more than once that *I* won't advocate any package on REVU that is missing a manpage :)), but it is only a "should" and not a "must". Quoting from /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/policy.html/ch-docs.html#s12.1:

«Each program, utility, and function should have an associated manual page included in the same package. It is suggested that all configuration files also have a manual page included as well. Manual pages for protocols and other auxiliary things are optional.

If no manual page is available, this is considered as a bug and should be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking System (the maintainer of the package is allowed to write this bug report themselves, if they so desire). Do not close the bug report until a proper man page is available.»
