Bug#897137: live-build: man -k and apropos don't work in live system

Seldom used? I think of apropos and man as the most fundamental
commands in the Unix ecosystem. They are the first thing I mention,
when people ask me about learning (or mastering) the system.
Bloat? The last live image I built occupies ~2215 MiB. In it,
"tar czf - -C /var/cache/man . | wc -c" prints 421793, less than
one fiftieth of one percent of the image size.
In a smaller live image with fewer packages, the cost would be even
less than 0.4 MiB.
