dh_installmanpages did that, but that made its interface unlike the rest of debhelper and occasionally made it do unexpected things. dh_installman was written specifically to get rid of that do-what-I-mean behaviour. If you're using debian/hatari.manpages, which is fine, then make sure you put debian/hatari.1 there and not just hatari.1. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
