Package: dh-make
Severity: wishlist
Version: 0.46
Hi,
while I was observing a new and aspiring package maintainer, I noticed
that the description is confusing to the new user.
'Single Binary and Multiple Binary' distinction is not clear for new
person, because binary is ambiguous (sounds more like /usr/bin/xxx).
We're talking about 'Single binary package' and 'multiple binary
package' from single source package here, it would help if it can be
clarified.

You need to read the man page. The program itself won't explain it.
Multiple binary (m)
The package will generate multiple binary .deb packages from one source
package. Choose this for larger packages that need to be split.
If you think it can be clearer, the man page that is, reopen the bug
with suggestions but it seems ok to me.
