Bug#252161: manual page missing



hello

you should run this on your packages:
$ lintian -Ivi wormux_0.4.0-1_i386.deb
N: Setting up lab in /tmp/lintian-lab.3073 ...
N: Processing 1 packages...
N: ----
N: Processing binary package wormux (version 0.4.0-1) ...
E: wormux: binary-without-manpage wormux
N:
N:   Each binary in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /sbin, or /usr/games, must
N:   have a manual page.
N:   
N:   Note, that though the `man' program has the capability to check for
N:   several program names in the NAMES section, each of these programs
N:   must have its own manual page (a symbolic link to the appropriate
N:   manual page is sufficient) because other manual page viewers such as
N:   xman or tkman don't support this.
N:   
N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 12.1 for details.
N:
N: Removing /tmp/lintian-lab.3073 ...

before this software can be uploaded to debian (by finding a sponsor) 
you should write a little manual page for it, you can use the manualpage.ex in
debian and call it wormux.6 then create a file debian/manpages
with debian/wormux.6 in it. then uncomment the following in debian/rules
        dh_installman

yours
gürkan
