I'm not familiar with how to twist git makefile.  By adding a line to ./Makefile

# Platform specific tweaks #

# We choose to avoid "if .. else if .. else .. endif endif" # because maintaining the nesting to match is a pain. If # we had "elif" things would have been much nicer...

ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF = YesPlease # <--- this line added ifeq ($(uname_S),Linux)

However, the man page still display the same

  .ft C
   git filter-branch --tree-filter ´rm filename´ HEAD
   .ft

I use debian lenny 64bit with
Package: docbook-xsl
Version: 1.73.2.dfsg.1-5

Package: asciidoc
Version: 8.2.7-3~lenny1
