Sure it does. Otherwise I'd agree that there is a bug:

$ apropos git-import-orig
gbp-import-orig (1)  - Import an upstream source into a git repository

I'm using man-db:

$ dpkg-query -s man-db | grep ^Version:
Version: 2.6.5-2

We could "fix" this by adding the symlinks but I'd rather understand the
root cause of the problem.
Cheers,
