hi,
as a packager(recently i fix this package) i've seen that the build 
process is kinda broken. some of the man pages was copy in /share rather 
than the usual directory where all others man pages are 
/usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/modules/share. This was my primary 
problem and i've seen that --mandir again wasn't work as espected.

there were a problem that made it not work properly but was a 
configuration issue and was fixed by patching system-tools-backends.conf.
