Dunno Ubuntu but POSIX manuals (aka 1p, 3p ..) could be a separate
package.  They are definitely separate balls here:

  #?0|kent:$ ll /x/balls/man-pages/
  total 2636K
  -rw-r--r--  1 ports ports 1758092 Mar 28 00:57 man-pages-5.11.tar.xz
  -rw-r--r--  1 ports ports  935196 Mar 28 00:57 man-pages-posix-2017-a.tar.xz
