If upstream does not provide a man page, it is up to you to create one. Usually, if upstream is active, they will be more than glad to assist you with writing the man page. If they aren't, you can base the man page on the provided documentation (if any). The man page doesn't need to be the next great novel. It just needs to outline the basic usage of the program. Feel free to look at some of the other man pages that are included in Ubuntu packages to see an example. [1] might prove useful when writing the man page.
