I'm trying to make my first .deb package. For that I have read https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ and https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/Intro. The latest guide was the most useful for me because I had no experience. Apart from all the warnings from lintian, after building the .deb I could install it and it worked, but the manuals didn't. Now running lintian...

The tutorial I read is so basic that it doesn't show how to include the man and info pages. I'm using Sphinx to build the info page and the man page its already build in the repository. I also have a Bash autocompletion file. Anyone can point me in the right direction? There are so many packaging guides and I find most of them very confusing? This is the program I'm trying to package in case you wonder: https://notabug.org/Ducker/ducker
You should have a look at the manpages for dh_installman and dh_installinfo. Basically, add a packname.info or packname.manpages in the debian directory pointing to what you want to install.
For simple questions the #debian-mentors IRC channel is of great help! Cheers, Snark on #debian-mentors
