Package: manpages
Version: 3.23-1
Severity: normal
The man page refers to getcap(8) and setcap(8), which I assume
are the command-line tools to view process capabilities that I
am looking for. But no package in Debian includes such a tool.

Since upstream 3.37, libcap(3) is in the SEE ALSO section.
On top of this, references to libcap package have been present since a long
time.
So closing the bug.
