I found a solution:

I made a chroot with debootstrap, minimal install
then I move all *deb from the repository inside a temp directory in the
chroot

then I can dpkg --unpack *.deb let the packages get unpacked in the
system, without installing

then I can copy the /usr/share/man etc. directories to the proper
place.


Thanks for the ideas!
