By debhelper 5, I mean debian/compat 5 and debian/control
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5)

Part of a Debian maintainer's activities are to contribute useful
changes to upstream. For many upstream projects, manual pages and
other documentation are useful. Here, 'send the manual page upstream'
means file a bug or send a mail asking for the upstream authors to
integrate the manual page you have written into their
software/package.

Nope, just a good idea.
