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

No, you're not. The latest major release is Debian 9, and even on
jessie (Debian 8) the latest kernel would be 3.16.51, which is rather
newer than last April.
