 .SH NAME
 dh_installdirs \- create subdirectories in package build directories
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B dh_installdirs
-.I "[-v] [-a] [-i] [-ppackage] [-Ptmpdir] [dir ...]"
+.I "[debhelper options] [-A] [dir ...]"
 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
 dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating
 subdirectories in package build directories.
 .P
 Any directory names specified as parameters will be created in the package
-build directory of the first binary package listed in debian/control, if 
-dh_installdirs is acting on that package.
+build directory of the first package dh_installdirs 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.
 .P
-A file named debian/dirs (for the first binary package in debian/control),
-or debian/package.dirs (for each additional package in debian/control) can
-list other directories to be created. Seperate the directory names with
-whitespace.
+A file named debian/package.dirs (debian/dirs may be used for the first
+binary package in debian/control) can list other directories to be created.
+Separate the directory names with whitespace.
 .P
 Be sure to only use directory names relative to the package build
 directory. Ie, "/usr/bin" should not be used, use "usr/bin" instead.

 .SH BUGS
-Directories with spaces in them will not currently be installed.
+It's impossible to specify filenames with spaces or other whitespace in them
+in debian/dirs file. This is more a historical design flaw than a bug.
