Well, I think that you have to run dh_installman from the upstream source directory. But then, you have to tell it where the pdamaze.6 file is. Hence, you should try "dh_installman debian/pdamaze.6" from the upstream source directory. You may also want to set the DH_COMPAT environement variable, if you are using a compatibility level higher than 1. ("man debhelper" for more info) Regards, Nicolas
