Package: debhelper Version: 9.20140817 Severity: wishlist Hi,
dh_installman already honors extensions like .ll.8 to detect the correct location for the man page. E.g. the following works as expected: ~~~~ $ dh_installman -v debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man1/wine-stable.de.1 install -p -m644 debian/tmp/usr/share/man/man1/wine-stable.de.1 \ debian/wine-development/usr/share/man/de/man1/wine-stable.1 ~~~~ It would be helpful to have a similar mechanism if the language is given in the pathname of the man page (between usr/share/man/ and man1/). So that instead of: ~~~~ $ dh_installman -v debian/tmp/usr/share/man/de.UTF-8/man1/wine-stable.1 install -p -m644 debian/tmp/usr/share/man/de.UTF-8/man1/wine-stable.1 \ debian/wine-development/usr/share/man/man1/wine-stable.1 ~~~~ one would get: ~~~~ install -p -m644 debian/tmp/usr/share/man/de.UTF-8/man1/wine-stable.1 \ debian/wine-development/usr/share/man/de/man1/wine-stable.1 ~~~~ Thanks for debhelper! jre -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.24.51.20140903-1 ii dpkg 1.17.13 ii dpkg-dev 1.17.13 ii file 1:5.19-1 ii man-db 2.6.7.1-1 ii perl 5.20.0-6 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu3 debhelper recommends no packages.
