Manpage is named nwipe.1 which would be correct but manpage contains section 8 which forms a mismatch(warning) in Debian.

Man sections

1 Executable programs or shell commands 2 System calls (functions provided by the kernel) 3 Library calls (functions within program libraries) 4 Special files (usually found in /dev) 5 File formats and conventions, e.g. /etc/passwd 6 Games 7 Miscellaneous (including macro packages and conventions), e.g. man(7), groff(7), man-pages(7) 8 System administration commands (usually only for root) 9 Kernel routines [Non standard]
