Hi Helmut, Thank you for your contribution!
I want to give you some status updates about this bug. I spent some time investigating this topic, but I still don't have a good solution to solve help2man part you mentioned for version 2.1.3-1. In parallel, I am also working on upgrading libgpiod to 2.2. Unfortunately, cross-build still does not pass. I plan to upload v2.2 to experimental distribution first. If there is no issue other than cross-build, I will upload v2.2 to unstable distribution. Then, I will continue the research for this bug. Thank you.
