If no man page has been installed then you can: 1) The Linux Documentation Project http://www.tldp.org/ [I think - I get their new URL wrong constantly] 2) Run the program with something like: links -h links --help 3) Try google I believe you are allowed to file a bug against packages that lack man pages, in which case if you really have downloaded a package with no sane man page (even one that says the package maker didn't make one) then you can have the joy of using the Debian bug tracking system...
