Hi,
I am using /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/debian/manpage.sgml.ex, which is
by default installed in the /debian directory.
I have suppressed this paragraph now. The AUTHOR section contains
something similar anyway.

Actually, it is an URL to the previous version of the software, TreeView
(not X), which does not exist for *nix platforms. The html documentation
page for TreeView X does not say more; I entirely cut-and-pasted in the
man page.
Best regards,
