-dh_installman is a debhelper program that handles 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 packages, and it figures out where to
-install them based on the section field in their .TH line. If you have a
-properly formatted .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 "3perl", which are placed in man3, and given an
-extension of ".3perl"). If your .TH line is incorrect or missing, the program
-may guess wrong based on the file extension.

+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 .TH line. Edit the man page and correct the section, and
-dh_installman will follow suit. See 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. Use --language=C to avoid this.
