Package: debhelper
Version: 13.11.6
Severity: minor

Dear debhelper maintainer,

the line

```
debian/tmp/usr/share/man/*/man1/foo.1
```

is correctly expanded by dh_install (`d/pkg.install`) but it causes dh_installman (`d/pkg.manpages`) to fail.

While it is technically possible to install manpages via d/pkg.install, doing so skips all the man-specific processing done by dh_installman, for instance handling the <nodoc> build profile.

It would be nice if dh_installman expanded glob patterns in the same way dh_install and other dh helpers do.

Regards,
