Yes, there are:

ii  dpkg-dev    1.18.24     all   Debian package development tools

However, Guillem didn't say the manpages were named dpkg-dev, he said
they were in the dpkg-dev package.

$ dpkg -L dpkg-dev | grep man/man5
/usr/share/man/man5
/usr/share/man/man5/deb-buildinfo.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/deb-changelog.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man5/deb-changes.5.gz
...

newer than last April.
