[FIX] libaio, and two packages that installed man pages nobody wrote

libaio is a real closure gap: lvm2 stops on "libaio.h: No such file or
directory". This port had already met that library from the other side, noting
Ubuntu's time64 rename to libaio.so.1t64 long before anything needed its headers.

fakeroot is the interesting one. The first hook removed the po4a call and nothing
else, so build() ended on a bare `cd doc` and package() failed on

  install: cannot stat './faked.1': No such file or directory

The English man pages ARE shipped. What is not shipped are the translations:
doc/Makefile carries SUBDIRS = de es fr nl pt ro sv, each holding only Makefiles
whose man_MANS name files po4a was supposed to generate. Removing the generator
and leaving the recursion is the same mistake as removing a build target and
leaving its install target.

shadow needs distinguishing: xsltproc exists here now, from our libxslt. What is
missing is the DocBook XML data its stylesheets read -- the same as pam.

--- FR ---

libaio est un vrai trou de fermeture : lvm2 s'arrête sur « libaio.h: No such file
or directory ». Ce portage avait déjà croisé cette bibliothèque par l'autre bout,
en notant le renommage time64 d'Ubuntu en libaio.so.1t64 bien avant que ses
en-têtes servent.

fakeroot est le cas intéressant. Le premier hook retirait l'appel à po4a et rien
d'autre : build() finissait sur un `cd doc` nu et package() échouait sur

  install: cannot stat './faked.1': No such file or directory

Les pages anglaises SONT livrées. Ce qui ne l'est pas, ce sont les traductions :
doc/Makefile porte SUBDIRS = de es fr nl pt ro sv, chacun ne contenant que des
Makefiles dont man_MANS nomme des fichiers que po4a devait générer. Retirer le
générateur en laissant la récursion est la même erreur que retirer une cible de
construction en laissant celle d'installation.

shadow mérite une distinction : xsltproc existe désormais, via notre libxslt. Ce
qui manque, ce sont les données DocBook que lisent ses feuilles de style — comme
pour pam.

# po4a: command not found
# First attempt removed the po4a call and nothing else. build() then ended on a

#
# build() ends on a po4a call that renders the man page into every language it
# has a catalogue for. po4a is Perl, and packaging it means packaging its module
# stack -- perl-yaml-tiny, perl-syntax-keyword-try, perl-term-readkey,
# perl-locale-gettext and more -- so that fakeroot's man page exists in Polish.
# install: cannot stat './faked.1': No such file or directory
#
# fakeroot is not optional the way its man pages are: makepkg cannot build a
# package without it. Same arbitration as --auto-features auto in
# build-stage2.sh, and the same note for stage 3.
# The English man pages are shipped -- doc/faked.1 and doc/fakeroot.1 are in the
# tree. What is NOT shipped is their translations: doc/Makefile carries
#
# SUBDIRS = de es fr nl pt ro sv
#
# and each of those directories holds only Makefiles, with man_MANS naming
# fakeroot.1 and faked.1 that po4a was supposed to generate. So `make install`
# recursed into doc/fr and tried to install a file nobody had written. Removing
# the generator without removing the recursion left the second half of the job
# undone, which is the same mistake as removing a build target and leaving its
# install target -- eight packages in this port have now failed that way.
#
# WHY NOT po4a. It is Perl, and packaging it means packaging its module stack --
# perl-yaml-tiny, perl-syntax-keyword-try, perl-term-readkey and more -- so that
# fakeroot's man page exists in Polish. fakeroot itself is not optional: makepkg
