Perhaps you should go read the bug report first. As you seem to be
unwilling to actually do research, I'll include the relevant section for
your benefit:
-----
1: deliberate obfuscation for no benefit:
echo .nr g 2 | cat - cpio.1 | \
gzip -n9 >debian/pax/usr/share/man/man1/paxcpio.1.gz
Just add the extra top line to the upstream or create a patch already.
then you'd have something approaching sane:
cp cpio.1 debian/pax/usr/share/man/man1/paxcpio.1
gzip -n9 debian/pax/usr/share/man/man1/paxcpio.1
Even that is two lines repeated three times (once for each manpage)
instead of just dh_installman on a single line and a small .install
file but that just demonstrates the insanity of the current rules.
