I was not expecing to see actual removal of the manual pages but rather
removing manual pages installed by distro packages without the related
binaries. In the long term we want to migrate the functionality of
find-root and select-super to the 'rescue' subcommand and at that time
the manual pages' text will be moved. Until then it should be kept but
it's up to the distro package to either ship the binaries + manual pages
or neither.
