How about replacing "an associated manual page" with "associated
documentation"? Also add a sentence or two saying that said
documentation may be in any format(s) (manual pages suggested)
viewable in Debian and should be well maintained.

help2man-generated manual pages are no substitute for good,
well-maintained manual pages or other documentation.
