-.SH NAME
-dh_installmanpages \- old-style man page installer
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B dh_installmanpages
-.I "[debhelper options] [file ...]"
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-dh_installmanpages is a debhelper program that is responsible for
-automatically installing man pages into usr/share/man/ and usr/X11R6/man/ in
-package build directories.
-.P
-This is a DWIM-style program, with an interface unlike the rest of
-debhelper. You are encouraged to use
-.BR dh_installman (1)
-instead.
-.P
-dh_installmanpages scans the current directory and all subdirectories for
-filenames that look like man pages. (Note that only real files are looked
-at; symlinks are ignored.) It uses
-.BR file (1)
-to verify that the files are in the correct format. Then, based on the
-files' extensions, it installs them into the correct man directory.
-.P
-All filenames specified as parameters will be skipped by dh_installmanpages.
-This is useful if by default it installs some man pages that you do not want
-to be installed.
-.P
-After the man page installation step, dh_installmanpages will check to see if
-any of the man pages are ".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 file ...
-Do not install these files as man pages, even if they look like valid man
-pages.
-.SH NOTES
-dh_installmanpages will install the man pages it finds into
-.B all
-packages you tell it to act on, since it can't tell what package the man
-pages belong in.
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-See
-.BR debhelper (1)
-for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-.BR debhelper (1)
-.BR dh_installman (1)
-.SH BUGS
-Man pages with the extension
-.B .man
-are not automatically installed.
-.P
-Files specified as parameters that contain spaces in their filenames will
-not be processed properly.
-.P
-By default, all man pages are installed into all binary packages, which is
-almost never what you really want (use -p to work around this).
-.P
-This is a "Do what I Mean" type program - you have been warned!
