We have a manpage in ./contrib/debian/manpages/bitcoind.1 (surprise!), but it's very out of date.

This is one of the things that will be eternally out of date, and as long as its under contrib/debian it is not up to us to maintain it.
Debian probably has a newer one though, see: https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/bitcoin/+changelog
- Extend Files section for debian-provided manpages to cover upstream shipped duplicate below contrib/debian.
It could be that it had to be relicensed from GPLv3 last time.

I still think the manpages should become a first-class part of the repository and also installed on 'make install', instead of inside the
contrib/debian/'ghetto'.It is possible to generate part of it automatically from--helpoutput.Also it probably shouldn't aim to list all the RPC commands, as there are too many of them. Also as(this was done in #7274)bitcoinddoesn't work as a RPC client anymore in the first place... - MarcoFalke cross-referenced this on Jan 9, 2016 from issue [debian] Bump manpages and only mention -? by MarcoFalke
