I committed a change recently, that outputs the headers as subsection
headers. It is possible to reorder the sections too, but that would
require more effort, and I currently don't have too much time.

fixed, thanks.
Could you perhaps give me your opinion on what to do with the script ?
I think the generated man pages are pretty nice already, the most
important problem left is how to integrate this into the rest of
(Debian-) KDE. And my current best bet would be to just add the
generated manpages to the respective Debian directories, mostly
because I don't think the complexity of somehow making this run
automatically on build or packaging time just doesn't seem worth the
trouble..
