+dh_installman is a debhelper program that handles installing
man pages into the correct locations in package build directories. You tell

+extension. It also supports translated man pages, by looking for extensions
+like .ll.8 and .ll_LL.8
+
+If dh_installman seems to install a man page into the wrong section or with
+the wrong extension, this is because the man page has the wrong section
+listed in its .TH line. Edit the man page and correct the section, and
+dh_installman will follow suit. See to L<man(7)> for details about the .TH
+section. If dh_installman seems to install a man page into a directory
+like /usr/share/man/pl/man1/, that is because your program has a
+name like "foo.pl", and dh_installman assumes that means it is translated
+into Polish. There is currently no support for resolving this ambiguity;
+programs in debian should proably not have extensions like that anyway.
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

by some packages, and so is still included in debhelper.
