Building a release after many years without having a preserved local copy
of DL_DIR is asking for trouble, regardless of whether man-pages comes from
archive or not. Other things will have changed their location or vanished
off the internet in the meantime, even though they supposedly come from
'stable' locations. But if you have a DL_DIR, then you don't need to fix
the recipes at all.
