+.SH NAME
+cvs-debi \- install cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBcvs-debi\fP [\fIoptions\fR] [\fIpackage\fR ...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcvs-debi\fR is run from the CVS working directory after
+\fBcvs-buildpackage\fR or \fBcvs-debuild\fR. It uses the
+\fBcvs-buildpackage\fR system to locate the \fI.changes\fR file
+generated in that run. It then runs \fBdebpkg \-i\fR on
+every \fI.deb\fR archive listed in the \fI.changes\fR file to install
+them, assuming that all of the \fI.deb\fR archives live in the same
+directory as the \fI.changes\fR file. Note that you probably don't
+want to run this program on a \fI.changes\fR file relating to a
+different architecture after cross-compiling the package!
+.PP
+If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those
+debs with names in this list of packages will be installed.
+.PP
+Note that unlike \fBcvs-buildpackage\fR, the only way to specify the
+source package name is with the \fB\-P\fR option; you cannot simply
+have it as the last command-line parameter.
+.PP
+Since installing a package requires root privileges, \fBdebi\fR calls
+\fBdebpkg\fR rather than \fBdpkg\fR directly. Thus \fBdebi\fR will
+only be useful if it is either being run as root or \fBdebpkg\fR can
+be run as root. See \fBdebpkg\fR(1) for more details.
+.SH OPTIONS
+All current \fBcvs-buildpackage\fR options are silently accepted;
+however, only the ones listed below have any effect. For more details
+on all of them, see the \fBcvs-buildpackage\fR(1) manpage.
+.TP
+\fB\-a\fIdebian-architecture\fR, \fB\-t\fIGNU-system-type\fR
+See \fBdpkg-architecture\fR(1) for a description of these options.
+They affect the search for the \fI.changes\fR file. They are provided
+to mimic the behaviour of \fBdpkg-buildpackage\fR when determining the
+name of the \fI.changes\fR file.
+.TP
+.BR \-M\fImodule
+The name of the CVS module.
+.TP
+.BR \-P\fIpackage
+The name of the package.
+.TP
+.B \-V\fIversion
+The version number of the package.
+.TP
+.B \-T\fItag
+The CVS tag to use for exporting sources.
+.TP
+.B \-R\fIroot\ directory
+Root of the original sources archive.
+.TP
+.B \-W\fIwork directory
+The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.
+.TP
+.B \-x\fIprefix
+This option provides the CVS default module prefix.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-help\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
+Show help message and version information respectively.
