My package does have an /doc folder. Does it mean that there is some

Do the contents look useful to a user? If so, they should be installed
into /usr/share/doc/<package>.
Besides that, should each package have an manpage? How should I create one?
Policy: "Each program, utility, and function should have an associated
manual page included in the same package."
See section 12, http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html.
To create one, try an editor like manedit, which will give you a
skeleton and a graphical editor to get your started.
What if an package has an documentation, should there also be an manpage?
Yes.
