That's a function of the pager you are using, not the man package.
Try the following:
PAGER='less'; export PAGER
and then run man again.
You might also like:
LESS='-M -e -X'; export LESS
which sets the default options for less the way I like them; 'man less'
for what it means, and to pick your own favorites.
BTW, this question would have been better aimed at the debian-user list.

This, on the other hand, is a legitimate question for debian-devel. The
only answer seems to be "when it's ready". Following Debian Weekly News
(http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/) is probably the best source of info
if you're not up to tracking debian-devel.
