In other words, you split /usr/ - that scenario isn't supported as it
possibly breaks symbolic links since Debian policy requires them to be
relative within /usr:

So the link /usr/share/misc/magic.mgc is relative but since it points
outside /usr/share/, will likely point to nowhere on your system. FWIW,
the links are made relative during build so it was quite hard to provide
absolute links even if I wanted to.
So if you really want to continue on your a bit unusual file system
layout, you'd have to adjust the link on your own, and possibly every
time the package gets updated.
About man, I have no idea why that one fails, strace -f however should
give you an idea.
