Details

The manpages provided in the dist tarball for pacman were configured with a prefix of /usr/local, and this build-time option is embedded into the manpage (see the pacman(8) in a number of places e.g. "Specify an alternative database location (the default is /usr/local/var/lib/pacman)").

As a result, in order for the manpages to be correct in the shipped package, we need to run "make -C doc clean" after configuring, to make sure the manpages are up to date.
This task depends upon

This is the the price we pay for prebuilding the docs in the release tarball. Meson builds do not have this problem.

I make release tarballs using "./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var; make distcheck". I guess Andrew forgot the --prefix=/usr... for the the maint release.
