I'm wanting to upgrade my security, and like to use some of the
suggested tools. I've installed some of the tools, but can't find man
pages on them. Similarly there's no results to be had from googling.
I must be missing something..

In short: cracklib? cracklib2?
Not all pkgs are covered by man pages, but there are plenty of other information sources.
Cheers!

As far as I can see [1], cracklib comes with man pages...

Cheers

You can see the files installed by a package by running:

$ dpkg -L <package name>

For example:

$ dpkg -L coreutils

man pages will typically be under /usr/share/man:

$ dpkg -L coreutils | grep ^/usr/share/man/

dpkg -L == dpkg --listfiles

Note that this will not list files generated during installation (for
example a kernel module package that triggers a DKMS build would
likely show the source code but _not_ the built binaries) or
configuration files created later; but that shouldn't be an issue with
man pages.
