Looking at the man source, this is why:
.SH "COMMAND OVERVIEW"
.SH "COMMAND REFERENCE"
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"

The text is missing.

This sounds a lot like bug 585667, but that is supposed to be fixed.

When I run 'make man/bzr.1' in the 2.2 tree, I do get a manpage with those sections completed.

Could you please test the package in maverick-proposed and confirm that it fixes that issue for you too.

This bug fix should be suitable for upstream too.
