=head1 SYNOPSIS
-B<dh_undocumented> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-A>] [S<I<manpage ...>>]
+Do not run!
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-dh_undocumented is a debhelper program that is responsible for making
-symlinks to L<undocumented(7)> for man pages that are not present in your
-package.
-
-The program takes a list of man pages that should be symlinked to
-L<undocumented(7)>. It examines the extension to see what section the man
-page belongs in. After figuring this out, it generates the necessary
-symlinks.
-
-The lists of man pages that need symlinks can be specified in two ways. Any
-man page names specified as
-parameters will be set up in the first package dh_undocumented 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, a file named debian/package.undocumented can list other man page
-names to set up.
-
-=head1 OPTIONS
-
-=over 4
-
-=item B<-A>, B<--all>
-
-Install undocumented man page symlinks for any man pages specified by
-command line parameters in ALL packages acted on. I doubt anyone will find
-this useful, it's here for consitency with other debhelper programs.
-
-=item I<manpage ...>
-
-Install undocumented man page symlinks for each of these man pages
-into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages acted on if -A is
-specified.)
-
-=back NOTES
-
-Note that Debian policy prohibits links to L<undocumented(7)> unless the
-package has an open bug report stating that it has no man page. You should
-really just write a man page instead; this program is an easy way out.
+This program used to make symlinks to the undocumented.7 man page for man
+pages not present in a package. Debian policy now frowns on use of the
+undocumented.7 man page, and so this program does nothing, and should not
+be used.
