The file should have a section number as extensions, presumaby 1 (user
commands) in your case. According to the documentation for that
(dh_installman(1)), a file debian/<package name>.manpages listing all
man pages can be used to have them installed automatically.

BTW: The command

man -l <filename>

can be used to format and display a man page from some 'local' file
instead of from the man pages directory tree.
