You're not supposed to put the manpage wherever you want to, even if it is a X
program. dh_installman puts the manpages into their respective sections, e.g.
if you have foo.1, it'll be but on section 1. If you have foo.1x, it'll be but
at /usr/X11R6/man/man1 for being in X's section 1.

(Please correct me if wrong)
