try out the following:
$ mmdebstrap --help
That's the documentation for mmdebstrap.
Then fore-remove perl-doc:
$ dpkg --force-all -r perl-doc
If you then try running "mmdebstrap --help" again you will see the source code
instead of the documentation.
If you know how to make this work without perl-doc, please don't hesitate to
tell.
Thanks!
