Yep, that's the one.

Everything prior to the "<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>" line is generated by
the parser:

	v.db.reconnect.all --html-description

The Makefile rules merge this with the contents of the
description.html file to get the completed HTML documentation.

This approach guarantees that the flags and options at least have
accurate (if somewhat minimal) documentation, even if the rest of the
documentation is hopelessly out of date.

It is. Don't copy the boilerplate from the top of the .tmp.html file
into the description.html file.
