Slink's debhelper isn't missing files, it's just an older version. Upgrade

Make sure you are running the latest one from potato. Also, there appears
to be problems with -icanon on older sparc kernels, which `bug' uses.

dpkg --purge setserial

Setserial makes little sense on stock sparc systems.

be of more help.

Login does not change tty permissions for a very good reason, mainly

I haven't noticed any problems with man at all.
