They're not "rubbish". They are man's version of symlinks.

$ gzip -d < /usr/share/man/man5/.k5identity.5.gz
.so man5/k5identity.5
$ gzip -d < /usr/share/man/man5/.k5login.5.gz
.so man5/k5login.5

You may find *many* very small files in /usr/share/man in the range of
around 30 bytes to 130 bytes, which contain these zsoelim(1)
preprocessor macros that simply include a different page as is.
