I looked into this but it turns out that our man-db package is carefully crafted not to refer to the full groff package to reduce its closure size by more than half. I think you'll have to live with installing groff manually to get the HTML feature, or alter the man-db definition to your particular needs. If this issue comes back often, we could revisit this choice and use the full groff, which would mean adding about 50 MiB to the closure of the bare-bones.tmpl system. Closing, Thanks for the report!
