- dh_installman [debhelper options] [manpage ...]
+B<dh_installman> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [S<I<manpage> ...>]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-dh_installman is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
+B<dh_installman> is a debhelper program that handles 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.
+it what man pages go in your packages, and it figures out where to
+install them based on the section field in their B<.TH> line. If you have a
+properly formatted B<.TH> line, your man page will be installed into the right
+directory, with the right name (this includes proper handling of pages
+with a subsection, like B<3perl>, which are placed in F<man3>, and given an
+extension of F<.3perl>). If your B<.TH> line is incorrect or missing, the program
+may guess wrong based on the file extension.
+
+It also supports translated man pages, by looking for extensions
+like F<.ll.8> and F<.ll_LL.8>, or by use of the B<--language> switch.
+
+If B<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 B<.TH> line. Edit the man page and correct the section, and
+B<dh_installman> will follow suit. See L<man(7)> for details about the B<.TH>
+section. If B<dh_installman> seems to install a man page into a directory
+like F</usr/share/man/pl/man1/>, that is because your program has a
+name like F<foo.pl>, and B<dh_installman> assumes that means it is translated
+into Polish. Use B<--language=C> to avoid this.
+
+After the man page installation step, B<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 F<.so> links. If so, it changes them to symlinks.
-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.
+Also, B<dh_installman> will use man to guess the character encoding of each
+manual page and convert it to UTF-8. If the guesswork fails for some
+reason, you can override it using an encoding declaration. See
+L<manconv(1)> for details.
-Files named debian/package.manpages can list other man pages to be
-installed.
