Public bug reported:

apt install libsafec-dev fails to install any safeclib manpages

apt policy libsafec-dev
libsafec-dev:
  Installed: 3.9.1-1
  Candidate: 3.9.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.9.1-1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu resolute/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

man bsearch_s
No manual entry for bsearch_s

The source tarfile for the package doesn't have manpages

wget 
https://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/safeclib/safeclib_3.9.1.orig.tar.gz
tar -tvf safeclib_3.9.1.orig.tar.gz | grep /man/ | wc -l
0

Even though the release tarfile has manpages

wget 
https://github.com/rurban/safeclib/releases/download/v3.9.1/safeclib-3.9.1.tar.xz
tar -tvf safeclib-3.9.1.tar.xz | grep /man/ | wc -l

lsb_release -a
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
Release:        26.04
Codename:       resolute

Is there an explanation for why manpages are stripped from the package?
