+.TH DD\-LIST 1 2011-10-27 "Debian"
+.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH NAME
+dd\-list \- nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers
+.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BR dd\-list " [" \-hiusV "] [" \-\-help "] [" \-\-stdin "]"
+.BR "" "[" "\-\-sources \fISources_file" "]
+.BR "" "[" \-\-dctrl "] [" \-\-version "] [" \-\-uploaders "] [" \fIpackage " ...]"
+.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B dd\-list
+produces nicely formatted lists of Debian (.deb) packages and their
+maintainers.
+.PP
+Input is a list of source or binary package names on the command line
+(or the standard input if
+.B \-\-stdin
+is given).
+Output is a list of the following format, where package names are source
+packages by default:
+.PP
+.nf
+.RS
+J. Random Developer <jrandom@debian.org>
+.RS
+j-random-package
+j-random-other
+.RE
+.PP
+Diana Hacker <diana@example.org>
+.RS
+fun-package
+more-fun-package
+.RE
+.RE
+.fi
+.PP
+This is useful when you want, for example, to produce a list of packages
+that need to attention from their maintainers, e.g., to be rebuilt when
+a library version transition happens.
+.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-h ", " \-\-help
+Print brief help message.
+.TP
+.BR \-i ", " \-\-stdin
+Read package names from the standard input, instead of taking them
+from the command line. Package names are whitespace delimited.
+.TP
+.BR \-d ", " \-\-dctrl
+Read package list from standard input in the format of a Debian
+package control file. This includes the status file, or output of
+apt-cache. This is the fastest way to use dd-list, as it uses the
+maintainer information from the input instead of looking up the maintainer
+of each listed package.
+.IP
+If no \fISource:\fP line is given, the \fIPackage:\fP name is used for
+output, which might be a binary package name.
+.TP
+.BR \-z ", " \-\-uncompress
+Try to uncompress the \-\-dctrl input before parsing. Supported compression
+formats are gz, bzip2 or xz.
+.TP
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-sources\fR \fISources_file\fR
+Read package information from the specified \fISources_file\fRs. This can be
+given multiple times. The files can be gz, bzip2 or xz compressed. If the
+filename does not end in \fI.gz\fR, \fI.bz2\fR or \fI.xz\fR, then the \fB-z\fR
+option must be used.
+.IP
+If no \fISources_file\fRs are specified, dd\-list will ask apt\-get for
+an appropriate set of sources (if \fIapt\fR is at version greater than 1.1.8),
+else any files matching \fI/var/lib/apt/lists/*_source_Sources\fR will be used.
+.TP
+.BR \-u ", " \-\-uploaders
+Also list developers who are named as uploaders of packages, not only
+the maintainers; this is the default behaviour, use \-\-nouploaders to
+prevent it. Uploaders are indicated with "(U)" appended to the package name.
+.TP
+.BR \-nou ", " \-\-nouploaders
+Only list package Maintainers, do not list Uploaders.
+.TP
+.BR \-b ", " \-\-print\-binary
+Use binary package names in the output instead of source package names
+(has no effect with \fB--dctrl\fP if the \fIPackage:\fP line contains
+source package names).
+.TP
+.BR \-V ", " \-\-version
+Print the version.
