+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<dh_installman> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [S<I<manpage ...>>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+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
+extention of ".3perl"). If your .TH line is incorrect or missing, the program
+may guess wrong based on the file extention.
+
+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
+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.
+
+Files named debian/package.manpages can list other man pages to be
+installed.
+
+After the man page installation step, 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 ".so" links. If so, it changes them to symlinks.

+=head1 NOTES
+
+An older version of this program, L<dh_installmanpages(1)>, is still used
+by some packages, and so is still included in debhelper.
+It is, however, deprecated, due to its counterintuitive and inconsistent
+interface. Use this program instead.
