Re: missing manpage for binary

[Gabriel Filion <gabster@lelutin.ca>]

Just after sending this, I got a hint from someone to use 
override_dh_installman inside debian/rules instead of patching the 
Rakefile. doing it this way I'm able to compile and include the man page 
in the package.

sorry for the noise on the list!
