debmany: use apt-helper for package downloads
apt-helper is better that curl, because:
* APT it's more likely to be already installed (popcon 100%) than curl
(popcon 55%).
* curl doesn't support all the URL schemes APT does.
* curl doesn't honor APT proxy settings.
Closes: #969025

The manpages are temporarily extracted to a temporary directory under /tmp (or /var/tmp, if /tmp is not a directory). You can override the path if you set and export the environment variable TMPDIR or set it as a temporary variable.
