doc: Work around stylesheet bug for man build

petere · petere · commit 1330e2922c7f · 2014-08-17T09:10:28.000-04:00
The upstream stylesheets for man output insert a *roff comment for an occurrence of an indexterm, for reasons that have apparently been lost in history. This, however, is done incorrectly and causes some formatting problems. This hasn't been an issue until now, but the reorganization of indexterm elements inside variablelists has triggered this issue. The upstream fix (http://sourceforge.net/p/docbook/bugs/1340/) is to drop indexterms altogether in man output, and so we'll do the same here.
