I neglected to mention I had tried that, too, with the argument "a+.1". That
did not work. I think it should have been "debian/a+.1", correct?

You mean it's well known to those who know it well? :-) Seriously, I hadn't
tried creating a file debian/aplus-fsf.manpages which the dh_installman
mentions, so I guess that is a case where I could have RTFM a bit closer.
However, the proper syntax for each entry in the file or the command line
argument is not in the dh_installman man page. I got it from Francesco's
email.
