it does work for *me*, it doesn't for buildd system.

IIRC they are configured to pick only the first version...

sure :)

there is an issue I don't understand:
help2man --no-discard-stderr -h-h --version-string $(VERSION) -n "$(DESCRIPTION)" ./ktap > debian/ktap.1
echo "debian/ktap.1" >> debian/ktap.manpages


this way if you rebuild the package twice
$ cat debian/ktap.manpages 
debian/ktap.1
debian/ktap.1




I guess this isn't what you want to achieve.

I'm fine with generating the documentation at build time, but I don't understand why to do the echo, instead
of having the file there.
debian/ktap.manpages doesn't change at build time, so why autogenerate it?

also, if you create a "ktab.manpages" it is picked by dh_installmanpages, so the 

dh_installdocs debian/doc/tutorial.html debian/ktap.1


line is simply wrong (or duplicate)

I guess you want to override dh_installmanpages and dh_instaldocs separately



(the build was fine, so I guess the package is mostly ready now)

cheers,
