Manu,

We are using gs-8.00, but I don't know whether the problem is that
you use an older version or something else. Can you try to update
your gs version and try again to generate the documentation?

If it still doesn't work, would it help if we give you a tarball
with all generated documentation?
Actually, such tarball already exists from the following
non-advertised URL:

http://www.xorp.org/releases/1.0/docs-1.0.tar.gz

BTW, when generating the Debian package, please make sure that you
are using the 1.0 release, and not the 1.0RC :)

Thanks,
Pavlin
