I don't think two (very small) manpages warrant the creation of a new
-common package. It would also be both against a policy "should", about
including the man page in "the same package" (12.1), as well as common
practice and user expectations.

If you're looking for ways to help, there is an upstream bug about the
pandoc dependency -- I think upstream would appreciate any contributions
folks may have on this particular issue.

Regards,
Faidon
