'ar -x' will get data.tar.gz from the .deb file. 'tar zvxf data.tar.gz'

For any given $PACKAGE deb this will extract the manpages into
/usr/share/man (you might prefer to change tar's "/" to "/tmp"):
ar -p "$PACKAGE" data.tar.gz | tar xzvCf / - ./usr/share/man

I'll have to sit down with man pages a figure out why that
does what you say.
A large part of my motivation is self-education.
