If I fix a bug in my package, and send the patch upstream, should

Hi,
I was wondering how to install man pages in the X11 man directory with
dh_installman. I have read the manual, but it is not in there. Lintian

Hi,
I was wondering how to install man pages in the X11 man directory with
dh_installman. I have read the manual, but it is not in there. Lintian
keeps giving me warnings about the manual being in the wrong place, so
now I put the X11 app in /usr/bin (shame on me!).. Please help me out.
