Having installed my configuration files under /etc, I get the following 
lintian warnings:

  W: dbab: file-in-unusual-dir etc

I took a look at the generated binary package, and found that none of my 
files under /etc are included in the binary package. 

Also, in order to fix the "binary-without-manpage" lintian warning, I 
want to symlink the none-existing manpages to an existing one on the 
destination system. How can I do it? (I found my in my generated binary 
package, they are all plain files, even I've symlink the none-existing 
manpages to an existing one in my local build tree.)

Thanks

PS. here is the part I install my configuration files under /etc in my 
Makefile:

etcdir = ${DESTDIR}/etc

	$(INSTALL) -m 644 file/dbab.addr $(etcdir)
