It is not available in iceweasel in lenny, but the debian packages
dwww and dhelp allow display of all of the man pages as well as info
pages and debian documentation. I don't know about dhelp, but dwww
also shows information in /usr/share/doc, and then allows access to
package information. Both of these (and probably others) output in
html, so they can be used with any browser including text ones.
