Manual page and library file

Hello,

I have two small questions, I hope they can be answered easily.

1. In the DBTS we got a bug report telling that pod2texi.1 contains formatting errors [1]. The header of that file reads:

.\" Automatically generated by Pod::Man (Pod::Simple)
.\"
.\" Standard preamble:

As the file is (re)generated I refused to accept the patch.

By looking at a build log [2] however I noticed that the file is not (re)generated, instead there is a file called pod2texi.1 in your git source tree. Is the header statement still correct?

2. In Debian we installed the .la files into /usr/lib/texinfo/ until version 7.1.1 [3]. For the 7.2 packages [4] I skipped them: I could convert some files using texi2any, so no drawbacks visible until now.

Are these files really needed?

Please keep me in Cc, I'm not subscribed.

Many thanks,
  Hilmar
