We should / can kill webservice from the repo now, it isn't used anywhere (webservice2 is the default webservice now).

We can just put help files in --help there maybe?

I know, but I want to put webservice{,2} back in the repository. IIRC you pulled it out of there to hot-fix some issues, and now that these have been worked out and after you'll build in the bigbrother replacement, there's no longer a need to pass on tests & Co. (or need +2 from ops). When I review changes, I have a hard time figuring out the semantics of the different options and how they are affected, and I want my laziness back and let Jenkins do the work :-).

Debian's policy for man pages is AFAICS not that they should be there only for executables installed from a package, but that for each command, a user can find a manual by typing man command. So in theory, I would jot down a man page for executables installed by Puppet as well, but with no linter nagging in the past it was easier to just explain how portgrabber works when a user asked for the man page.
