You need the manpages package (manpages_1.19-1.deb) ,
the man-db package (man-db_2.3.10-65.deb),
the libc6 package (libc6_2.0.7t-1.deb), [1]
the libdb2 package (libdb2_2.3.16-7.deb),
the groff package (groff_1.11a-2.deb),
and the libg++272 package (libg++272_2.7.2.8-0.1.deb)
Now you begin to see why the slightly counter-intuitive decision to not
have the man pages in the base distribution was taken: it would have made
it bigger by several floppies.

[1] libc6 is part of the base system so you probably already have it.
