You are going to have to clarify exactly what you think is odd here.
In the find arguments we can find some that have a '*' in there...
They are clearly not valid folder names. (See below. The `...` are
cuts from the command line.)
find ... \
'opt/*/man' ... \
'opt/*/info' 'package/*/usr/man' 'package/*/usr/info' ... \
'package/*/usr/share/info' ... \
'package/*/usr/local/man' \
'package/*/usr/local/info' \
...
You are allowed to use wildcards in -name arguements provided the names
are quoted. See "man find".
