Would it be okay to depend on ‘rst2man’ instead?
Hmm, actually I wanted to drop rst2man as well…
This has happened, rst2man virtual package is gone.
I will remove docutils-writer-manpage at the next docutils upload, at
which point this bug will become RC.
I think it makes sense to keep the ‘rst2man’, ‘rst2odt’,
I don't want to special-case rst2man or rst2odt just because they were
separate package at some point in the past. That was long time ago.
On the other hand I don't want to have 9 different rst2* virtual
packages either.
Besides, if I were to keep rst2man virtual package, then for consistency
it would have to be also provided by python3-docutils. So it would be
wrong for your package to build-depend on rst2man, as it does need
Python 2 (not 3!) version of it.
and other packages like ‘rst2pdf’;
Well, rst2pdf has been always a separate packages and AFAIK there are no
plans to integrate it into docutils proper.
