I agree on both counts.  I put the man page into my book, and printed a 
version of the Info documentation.  The info documentation is not 
readable in printed form, in my opinion.  Most of it seems to read like 
a reference manual (here's the list of X in alphabetical form) rather 
than a tutorial or introduction (here's how you do X).

I think screen has an excellent man page; despite being two different 
docs I think I'd rather keep it and expand on it.  Most GNU man pages 
are bad and tell the user to go read the info documentation.
