  Description     : Generate a man page out of a Go program's -help output

 Go has a simple but very effective "flag" package that can be used to
 quickly create CLI applications without any additional dependencies. But
 this package cannot generate man pages.
 .
 gohelp2man takes inspiration from GNU help2man , and generates a man page
 from the -help output of your Go program. It is specifically designed to
 recognise the help message generated by the "flag" package.

I made this tool to generate good quality manual pages for simple Go programs
that only use the "flag" package from the standard library, and I am already
using it to generate the manual pages in a few Debian packages, so it would
be good to have it directly available in Debian.
