glib-2.84.3

I ran into an issue updating glib-2.84.3.  I ran:

meson setup ..                  \
       --prefix=/usr             \
       --buildtype=release       \
       -D introspection=disabled \
       -D glib_debug=disabled    \
       -D man-pages=enabled      \
       -D sysprof=disabled

And got:
...
Program rst2man rst2man.py found: NO

../meson.build:2727:10: ERROR: Program 'rst2man rst2man.py' not found or not executable

The package is at 
https://github.com/matthew-brett/docutils-work/blob/master/tools/rst2man.py

but that is 15 years old.

If I change man-pages=enabled to  man-pages=disabled, then glib2 builds and installs OK.

I also found https://sources.debian.org/src/python-docutils/0.8.1-8/tools/rst2man.py/

If I copy that to /usr/bin, then the man pages are generated and installed:
  sudo install -m755 ../rst2man.py /usr/bin/

I'd like opinions about how to proceed.  One thought is to put the rst2man.py file on 
anduin and then just have the user download and install it.  Creating a 'here' 
document is another option.

I'll note that there are 22 man pages installed, but I can't say that I've ever 
needed to look at any of them.
