WARNING: `help2man' is missing on your system.  You should only need it if
         you modified a dependency of a manual page.  You may need the
         `Help2man' package in order for those modifications to take
         effect.  You can get `Help2man' from any GNU archive site.

adding help2man to DEPEND is incorrect.  it shouldnt have run in the first place.
