The pattern 'usr/share/man/man*/*' in the not-installed file will exclude ALL man pages from being installed. However, the package has multiple .manpages files (debian/libyaz5-dev.manpages, debian/yaz.manpages, debian/yaz-icu.manpages, debian/yaz-illclient.manpages) that explicitly list man pages to be included in specific packages. This creates a conflict where the man pages are being explicitly installed via .manpages files but then excluded via not-installed. Either remove this pattern from not-installed to allow the man pages to be installed as configured, or remove the .manpages files if man pages should not be included.
