This is a DWIM-style program, with an interface unlike the rest of

in the correct format. Then, based on the files' extensions, it installs

them into the correct man directory.

This is useful if by default it installs some man pages that you do not

After the man page installation step, dh_installmanpages will check to see

if any of the man pages are ".so" links. If so, it changes them to symlinks.
