+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  dh_installman [debhelper options] [manpage ...]
+
+=head1 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.
+
+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.
+
+Files named debian/package.manpages can list other man pages to be
+installed.
+
+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.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS

+=head1 NOTES
+
+An older version of this program, L<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.
