Depends.

If the problem is present in both -current and -stable then ideally base
the patch on -current.  But if the problem is only present in -stable
then base it on the files in the -stable tree.

Note that this only applies to the man pages.  The other docs (FAQ,
Handbook, etc) are not branched.
