*PROBLEM*
As package is not installed, that directory does *NOT* exist.
Where to find required documentation on the web?
NOTE BENE
This post is about man pages as a class.
apt show debian-goodies

debman - Easily view man pages from a binary .deb without extracting
[man, apt* (via debget)]
So... ~$ dman packagename # will fetch the manpages as though they
were local.
