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. > You include a URL to upstream's web page in the doc (good, more man > pages should do this).

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.
