First of all, are these user callable commands are just internal commands?
(Sorry, but I don't know this package.) If they are called by the user or
sysadmin, they should have a manpage. If there is none and noone has time
to write one you could file a bug report against your package and install
symbolic link pointing to undocumented.7.gz instead of the manpages.
Lintian will automatically recognize this.
If these are just `internal' binaries, you should move them into
/usr/lib/epic (or similar).

There once was a buggy debmake release which exactly produces this bug.
Just recompile the package with a newer debstd (debmake) and everything is
fine again.
Thanks,
