Indent's -troff mode needs a macro file, tmac.indent, which is not distributed with the GNU indent. I tried the BSD4.3 indent -troff with that macro package several years ago, and the output was formatted quite differently from the way it was formatted without the -indent option (i.e., the way I wanted it to look), and in my opinion it was rather ugly. So I gave up on it. My guess is that indent -troff needs a lot of work to be usable.
