-.TH DH_INSTALLMAN 1 "" "Debhelper Commands" "Debhelper Commands"
-.SH NAME
-dh_installman \- install man pages into package build directories
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B dh_installman
-.I "[debhelper options] [manpage ...]"
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-dh_installman is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
-man pages into the correct locations in package build directories. You tell
-it what man pages go in your package(s), and it figures out where to install
-them based on the section field in their .TH line and their filename
-extention.
-.P
-Any man page filenames specified as parameters will be installed into the
-first package dh_installman is told to act on. By default, this is the
-first binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags,
-it will be the first package specified by those flags.
-.P
-Files named debian/package.manpages can list other man pages to be installed.
-.P
-After the man page installation step, dh_installman will check to see if
-any of the man pages in the temporary directories of any of the packages it
-is acting on contain ".so" links. If so, it changes them to symlinks.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B debhelper options
-See
-.BR debhelper (1)
-for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.
-.TP
-.B \-A, \--all
-Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages
-acted on.
-.TP
-.B manpage ...
-Install these man pages into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages
-if -A is specified).
-.SH NOTES
-An older version of this program,
-.BR dh_installmanpages (1)
-, is still used by some packages, and so is still included in debhelper.
-It is, however, deprecated, due to its counterintuiitive and inconsistent
-interface. Use this program instead.
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-See
-.BR debhelper (1)
-for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-.BR debhelper (1)
-.SH BUGS
-It's impossible to specify filenames with spaces or other whitespace in
-them in debian/package.manpages file. This is more a historical design
-flaw than a bug.
