Hallo,
I'm checking my freshly installed system for SUID/SGID files, and to my
surprise I see:
-r-xr-s--x 1 man 41172 Jul 13 13:28 /usr/bin/man
Does /usr/bin/man really have to have SGID-bit on? Why?
I just checked one debian-box, where /usr/bin/man is without SGID...

For caching the rendered man pages for all users, IMHO.

On debian, if configured to be chatty when installing packages, one is
asked upon installation of the "man" package if it should be set SGID.
