Package is getting Lintian tag https://lintian.debian.org/tags/manpage-has-useless-whatis-entry.html - can be trivially fixed by using help2man -n instead of plain help2man.

Remembering to use -n in the future is the tricky part.

Do you know if help2man can take that part from the --help somehow? My own build script just calls help2man -N -S divvun-gramcheck "${prog##*/}" for all the binaries. Or can it be the same across all the executables, like this application is part of divvun-gramcheck (e.g. what man vislcg3 does)?

Keeping it open since I'd like to have individual entries there (since it's what shows up when people do whatis divvun-suggest). I just have to figure out if I can specify the entries in --help or if I have to list them in my build script that calls help2man.
