Ok, and sorry, I got frustrated by the "1 column space on the right" change
of
https://gitlab.com/man-db/man-db/-/merge_requests/11

Indeed, the upstream version changes how width is configured.
- man: match the display width to the configured width (closes:#1059537).

It's just making another package (node-marked-man) render man pages

and fail its tests, preventing some other package migration (nodejs) and it
would have
been nice not having that change during this t64 transition.
