When I've wanted to look at a man page for an uninstalled package I've used http://manpages.debian.net . It would more convenient to have *ALL* pages available locally.

You might have to deal with conflicts - where packages conflict with each other, there's a good chance their manpages will too. Eg postfix, exim and sendmail probably all provide a sendmail manpage.
