According to our Policy Manual (see section 3.2.1) missing manpages are
considered as bugs. So I would suggest to report these as bugs, one bug
report per package (not per manpage :-)

IMHO, only the version-less program need to have a manpage, that's `perl'
in your example. However, what about making a symlink?
