Well, I think that you have to run dh_installman from the upstream
source directory. But then, you have to tell it where the pdamaze.6 file
is.
Hence, you should try "dh_installman debian/pdamaze.6" from the upstream
source directory.
You may also want to set the DH_COMPAT environement variable, if you are
using a compatibility level higher than 1. ("man debhelper" for more
info)
