BIND 9.11.25 has wrong formatted man pages

Summary

Manual pages from BIND 9.11.25 tarball are not well formatted

BIND version used

BIND 9.11.25 source archive. No tag v9_11_25 is published on gitlab, could not compare exact commit. man-db-2.9.0-3.fc32.x86_64

Steps to reproduce

tar xzf bind-9.11.25.tar.gz
man bind-9.11.25/bin/named/named.8

What is the current bug behavior?

NAMED(8)                                                                   BIND9                                                                   NAMED(8)

  .SH "NAME" named - Internet domain name server
  .SH "SYNOPSIS"
    .HP 144u

All generated manual pages have spaces before .SH, .PP etc. sections of man. At least man from Fedora cannot cope with it and display those sections when

What is the expected correct behavior?

The same output as done on v9_11 branch

NAMED(8)                                                                   BIND9                                                                   NAMED(8)

NAME
       named - Internet domain name server

SYNOPSIS
       named [[-4] | [-6]] [-c config-file] [-d debug-level] [-D string] [-E engine-name] [-f] [-g] [-L logfile] [-M option] [-m flag] [-n #cpus] [-p port]
             [-s] [-S #max-socks] [-t directory] [-U #listeners] [-u user] [-v] [-V] [-X lock-file] [-x cache-file]

All manual pages seems to have the same issue, not just named.8.

Relevant configuration files

none

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

none

Possible fixes

regenerate all pages with proper indentation
