Looks right to me. Note that you'll need the groff and libc6 packages
installed for man-db to install properly. You'll probably also want the
manpages package, which contains manual pages "about using a Linux
system".
If you're in for a joke or two, install the funny-manpages and
asr-manpages packages, and then "man rtfm", "man c", "man luser", and so
on ;)
