In gstreamer1.0 source package, dh_gstscancodecs.1 is generated from debian/dh_gstscancodecs by using command `perldoc -o man`, but the output file does not seems conforming man format which causing malformed output while doing `man dh_gstscancodecs`. However, it displays just like a manpage in terminal when not redirecting the perldoc command output to a file.

In addition, this can be fixed by using pod2man instead of perldoc.

`pod2man -u debian/dh_gstscancodecs > debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man1/dh_gstscancodecs.1`
