+.SH NAME
+mergechanges \- merge multiple changes files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBmergechanges\fR [\fB\-d\fR] [\fB\-f\fR] [\fB\-S\fR] [\fB\-i\fR] \fIfile1 file2\fR [\fIfile\fR...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBmergechanges\fR merges two or more \fI.changes\fR files, merging
+the Architecture, Description and Files (and Checksums-*, if present)
+fields of the two.  There are checks made to ensure that the changes
+files are from the same source package and version and use the same
+changes file Format.  The first changes file is used as the basis and
+the information from the later ones is merged into it.
+.PP
+The output is normally written to \fIstdout\fR.  If the \fB\-f\fR
+option is given, the output is written to
+\fIpackage\fR_\fIversion\fR_multi.changes instead, in the same
+directory as the first changes file listed.
+.PP
+If the \fB\-d\fR option is given and the output is generated successfully, the
+input files will be deleted.
+.PP
+If the \fB\-i\fR or \fB\-\-indep\fR option is given, source packages
+and architecture-independent (Architecture: all) packages are included
+in the output, but architecture-dependent packages are not.
+.PP
+If the \fB\-S\fR or \fB\-\-source\fR option is given, only source packages
+are included in the output.
