Well, this is the root of my question, I guess ... should I use dpkg to
   unpack them, or what?  They're simply ar files, or so I've been told,
   but I have little experience with dpkg internals.

In case it does come down to extracting the manpages, you can use
`dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile' to pipe out the tarfile (or `dpkg-deb
--extract') and not have to deal with the ar archive directly.
