[...] > https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/amanda.git [...] Hello, (sid)ametzler@argenau:/tmp/FLANN/amanda-3.3.9$ find -name amadmin.8 ./man/amadmin.8 ./debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man8/amadmin.8 If you want to install this manpage with dh_installman you'll need to list debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man8/amadmin.8 instead of usr/share/man/man8/amadmin.8 in debian/amanda-server.manpages. dh_installman does not search below debian/tmp as dh_install does. In my personal experience it is mainly useful for manpages which are not installed by "make install", e.g. Debian provided manpages in debian/. I would suggest to install manpages which are handled by "make install" with dh_install instead.
