Research direction

Compare the existing man pages for apturl and gdebi, then inspect captain's command-line entry point and packaging layout to find where documentation belongs. Done means installing the project provides a captain man page and man captain no longer reports that no manual entry exists.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description
