Upstream just reported that, as of now, the documentation has been removed from the published source, because it is outdated. The official documentation is now online at http://opensource.geneanet.org/projects/geneweb/wiki/En_Home. Upstream mentions that the documentation might be re-included in the published sources when it is up-to-date. So, indeed, these manpages should be rewritten. However, I'd prefer just having a README-doc file in /usr/share/doc/geneweb that would explain this situation instead of rewriting all manpages...which could very well be a temporary situation only.
