That's my point. Most of the bins without manpage are binaries that are not
intended to be run by the user but are launched by the main application.
Anyway I just discovered help2man that will help me a lot to fullfil the
requirement without loosing many time.

Ups, sorry, not that one. I guess that what you sent maintains a debian
package repository, I was talking about svn-repository not package
repository. We are maintaining the debian/ files within upstream svn
(svn-repository), and i was suggested to maintain it in a separate svn. I was
wondering on how to deal with that, whether to store the diff files or the
full debian dir, how to apply and update it easily and so on.
I guess that it has something to do with svn-buildpackage, but individual man
pages don't give me the whole picture.
