https://www.debian.org/doc/  says


manual pages [1]
     Traditionally, all Unix programs are documented with manual 
pages, reference manuals made available through the man command. 
They usually aren't meant for beginners. You can search for and 
read the manual pages available in Debian in 
http://manpages.debian.org/.[2]

[1] a link to http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#man
[2] a link to http://manpages.debian.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi

I reported the problem over on debian-www list and was told that 
the problem exists and is being investigated.
