If no man page has been installed then you can:

 1) The Linux Documentation Project
    http://www.tldp.org/ [I think - I get their new URL wrong
constantly]

 2) Run the program with something like:
    links -h
    links --help

 3) Try google

I believe you are allowed to file a bug against packages that lack man
pages, in which case if you really have downloaded a package with no
sane man page (even one that says the package maker didn't make one)
then you can have the joy of using the Debian bug tracking system...
