it's just about using "experimental" instead of "unstable" in the
changelog :)

ok, then can't it be generated at build time=

​It becomes a problem with multi-arch builds (executable with '--help' isn't available).

Indeed, help2man is a bit of work packagers, but it helps the upstream with keeping only single source of truth
 for its ​

 

​command-line options.

I couldn't find an alternative easier way.

heh, worry not!

So, about your new changes:
* "dh_install --(fail|list)-missing" are deprecated, as the manpage
   report

​I probably have an older version of dh_install.

Is there alternative check for missing files?
​

 

* last night a new debian-policy came out.  The website has yet to be
  updated, but in debian-devel-announce (which I expect you to be
  subscribed) you can find the relevant announcement with the changes.
  Please update your package as well for it.
  https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Standards-Version

​I looked through the changes but didn't see anything relevant to my current packaging​.

I'll bump the version.

Thanks,
