I tried this today and if date or pubdate is not set, there is still a timestamp embedded in the man page header like this: .\" Generator: DocBook XSL Stylesheets v1.76.1 <http://docbook.sf.net/> .\" Date: 2013/03/12 So I still consider this a valid bug and would like to see this addressed. I don't think the build timestamp is particularly useful, especially in the comment header. And as this break multi-arch packages, I'd suggest that this is removed from the .xsl files.
