+.SH NAME
+dh_undocumented \- make symlinks to undocumented.7 man page
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dh_undocumented
+.I "[-v] [-a] [-i] [-ppackage] [manpage ...]"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+dh_undocumented is a debhelper program that is responsible for making
+symlinks to the
+.BR undocumented (7)
+man page for man pages that are not present in your package.
+.P
+The program takes a list of man pages that should be symlinked to
+.BR undocumented (7)
+It determines what directory the man pages should be placed in by examining
+their extentions - pages ending in "x" go into /usr/X11R6/man/, while pages
+that end in anything else go in /usr/man/. It also examines the extention to
+see what section the man page belongs in. After figuring this out, it
+generates the necessary symlinks to
+.BR undocumented (7)
+, placing the sylinks in the package build directory.
+.P
+The lists of man pages that need
+.BR undocumented (7)
+symlinks can be specified in two ways. Any man page names specified as
+parameters will be set up in the first binary package listed in
+debian/control, if dh_installdocs is acting on that package.
+Also, if a file named debian/undocumented (for the first binary package in
+debian/control), or debian/package.undocumented (for each additional package
+in debian/control) can list other man page names to set up.
