No, it doesn't. The original problem was that it's hard to create
symlink if you don't know the manpage section (dh_installman takes
section from the header inside manpages and doesn't use the filename).

Hi all.
Some manpages describe several utilities in one page,
so I have to create symlink for manpages, e. g. dcopy.1.gz - clri.1.gz
(while clri.1.gz is installed with dh_installman).

You should not use symlinks, but source pages such tasks [1].
Install a manpage like:
bar.1:
.so man1/foo.1
[1]
Does it make sense?
1. Extend d/xxx.manpages to form:
bar.1 foo.1
2. dh_installman will create symlink bar.1 - foo.1
3. dh_compress will take care of symlinks, e. i.:
a) compress foo.1 to foo.1.gz (or whatever)
b) rm bar.1
c) create symlink bar.1.gz - foo.1.gz
I remember such a thing in

Which solves your problem, doesn't it? And no, I don't think that's ugly
