Sid:
  /usr/sbin/kbdrate
  https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/kbd/filelist
Bookworm:
  /sbin/kbdrate
  https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/amd64/kbd/filelist

The paths in both cases look like the program is intended for the
superuser.

Well, programs have man pages. Debian packages as a whole most often have
none.

The package "kbd" does not contain a program named kbd.
Try some of those in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin in
  https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/amd64/kbd/filelist

(The man page of kbdrate is listed as
  /usr/share/man/man8/kbdrate.8.gz
)


Have a nice day :)
