Did you run dselect at least once? The base only includes the realy
neccessary packages, but alls the normal packages like man are
preselected in dselect. If you start it, set the access, do a update,
then a select and just quit that again and the install you should get
those.

Alternatively: apt-get install man-db

May the Source be with you.
