How can i add a manual file to compiled package ?

Tags:

Good evening,..

Im working on a smser package (http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/smser/) and i cann't understand how to add a manual file :

when i work on package that does not compile code (as klthemes http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/k/klthemes/) i just edited the debian/manfile.1 and debuild -rfakeroot

but when i compile a a source code (Makefile) and run debuild -rfakeroot i got the next error :
W: smser: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/smser

but it does have a manfile.1 what am i doing wrong ?

Thank you in advance.
