There is, as far as I can see, no code in dh_installman that forces the section to upper-case. I think you have misidentified the cause. You can use the DH_VERBOSE=1 environment variable to see exactly what debhelper is doing. In general I do not think that needing to know this kind of thing for the link target is a problem. We've already established that you do not need to concern yourself with compression provided that you run dh_link before dh_compress, and sections rarely change so it's easy to just write them into your .manpages file. > Is there any handy way to "link" manpages?

I know about .so, but looks urgly because > debhelper finally replaces it with symlink :-) Any file format for this needs to involve explicitly stating the section, because it's perfectly valid and possible for the same manual page name to exist in multiple sections even in the same package (for example, the po4a package ships both po4a(1) and po4a(7)). The current dh_link format seems fine to me for this. If having to maintain it bothers you, you can always encourage upstream to install the proper symlinks in whatever their equivalent of 'make install' is. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
