i hate that catch 22.

can't file a bug, since the package is not in debian[1]
can't use undocumented, unless you have a bug against it,
can't leave a manpage out entirely, since it would fail lintian,
can't get into the archive, unless it is lintian clean

[1] okay, you do file a bug against it with the ITP, but that bug is
    against wnpp. somehow, filing a bug against a package that does not
    yet exist seems wrong to me. i end up writing a small man page.
