This is what I do with OCRmyPDF: I do a binary package build, install it, update the manpage, and then prepare a source package for upload to the archive/mentors. I disagree that help2man's manpages are always worse than doing nothing. I frequently make reference to the ocrmypdf manpage myself and don't find it lacking! Each individual help2man manpage should be evaluated on its own merits; you certainly should read everything it generates for your 20--30 scripts. -- Sean Whitton
