What is it? I'd love to make debhelper start using that directory by

man-db has supported the FHS paths for months. From the changelog:
* FHS compliance:
- add /usr/share/man in /etc/manpath.conf
- move /var/catman to /var/cache/man
* user's changes need manual update.
* absolutely DON'T SYMLINK /usr/man !! Otherways you'll get double
entries in the database.
* removed FSSTND keyword from manpath.conf and its handling in the
code, as it was a hack messing up names.
- start installing manpages in /usr/share/man
Don't worry about old packages installing into /usr/man .
man is designed to search pages on several directories!
- modify {pre,post}{inst,rm} scripts.
(And BTW, is /usr/share/X11R6/man supposed to be used for X man
pages?)
No, X is still segregated for historical reasons.
