If dh_installman doesn't support nodoc as written in its manpage, then maybe
the manpage should be changed.

For instance this may have to be removed since I was mistaken by it.

"In compat 11 and later, it also supports the default searchdir plus --
sourcedir like dh_install(1) and has the advantage that it respects the nodoc
        build profile (unlike dh_install(1))."

I am happy to consider patches for improving the documentation. But, I think your confusion is at a much more fundamental level. As I understand your email, you seem to be confusing `dh_installman` reacting to `nodoc` vs. `dh` skipping a hook target with `nodoc` which are two very different aspects.

The statement about `dh_installman` respecting `nodoc` above is still correct because it is whether `dh_installman` will react to `nodoc` and ignore missing documentation (manpages) in the `debian/<pkg>.manpages` files.

Nothing you showed me in the mount-zip package is about whether `dh_installman` reacts to `nodoc`. That was 100% whether `dh` reacts to `nodoc` by skipping commands and hook targets. So if any docs should be changed, I would expect the change to be in `dh(1)` rather than `dh_installman(1)`.

Best regards,
Niels
