Thanks for the hint. So upstream doesn't offer a manpage?

Sorry but IMO it is wasting ressource when contributing to
distro-specific sources. When upstream would over a manpage I would
contribute to it.

Can you describe the packaging process please? Isn't there a check
if the binary features fit to the manpage and other docs? I would
totally understand if this would be to much work.

I know I am quite radical here: I would suggest to kill the debian
specific manpage, put enough pressure on upstream to offer its own
manpage. If not kill the complete package because of Debian-quality.
