groff-perl is installed, otherwise groff would complain about a missing 
DESC file. Installing urw-base35-fonts-legacy fixes this, thanks.

It is IMO not obvious for the occasional groff user that this package is 
needed.

OK, will do. Didn't find anything similar here: 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=groff

IMO a regression, obvious in the postscript output:

$ groff -man -T ps -f H <<EOF
