'man dh_installman' is your friend[1]. you need to create a file
debian/<name-of-your-binary-package>.manpages and list the manpages to
be installed in there. For example:

; pwd
/home/decklin/debian/muddleftpd-1.3.9
; cat debian/muddleftpd.manpages 
debian/mudpasswd.1
; 

You can also use the list-all-manpages-on-the-command-line approach, but
I prefer this way.

[1] in fact, reading *all* the debhelper documentation before creating
dh packages is a good idea, so that you understand what the various
tools are doing for you behind the scenes.
