This should be upgraded to Critical. This is really a bug in the development process. IMHO, no package should ever be allowed in the repository without a man page and a document in /usr/share/doc/[package-name]/ describing its intended actions and effects. There is a good reason for the Debian policy requiring man pages. I have run across some other packages that don't have man pages, but at the time, I was in a hurry and couldn't file a bug report. (Now of course I can't remember which ones they were.)
I've never found a document describing exactly what the Distribution Upgrade Tool is intended to do, just a lot of folks saying to always use it. If I could read Pythonese, I could figure it out, but sadly I can't. Were it documented, with a list of the actions it is trying to accomplish, (1) folks with non-standard installs could manually upgrade by following the steps and adjusting as necessary, and (2) we could assist in debugging. An automated policy checker, such as lintian, could and should be employed to ensure policy compliance and enforce quality procedures.
