In my first post I meant /usr/local/man/man{1,5}. This is the correct
location for local installs on Debian (and according to the FHS),
but the directories are not precreated by the distribution. I think
it is bug that these, or any other, directories are not created if
they do not exist.

But, as I said, I am not sure if this has been fixed or not in later
releases.
