Not for me.

I would suspect groff (as used by man).

I think it's up one level to the creator of the man files:
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This script is used to combine all objects that do not currently reside in a "pack", into a pack..sp
A pack is a collection of objects, individually compressed, with delta compression applied, stored in a single file, with
an associated index file..sp
Packs are used to reduce the load on mirror systems, backup engines, disk storage, etc..sp
Results in:

It's only the .sp function.
So it's likely my version of asciidoc or xmlto.
