Hi,
the reason why I was using debian packages for Chef installation is
man pages. Is there a way to have man pages with omnibus/rubygems
installed?
Thanks,

The man pages are in the gem package, a couple workarounds:
man -M /opt/opscode/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/chef-0.10.10/distro/common/man
chef-client
Note that the clojure based omnibus (before 10.12.0.rc.1) was in
/opt/opscode and the ruby based omnibus is now in /opt/chef.
You can add something like this to your man.conf:
MANPATH /opt/opscode/embedded/lib/ruby/gems//gems/chef/distro/common/man
man-db 2.5.7-4 and 2.5.9-4 on Ubuntu 10.10 maverick appear to truncate
/opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems//gems/chef/distro/common/man to
/opt/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/gems//gems/chef/dis, I'm giving up on
that for now.

It's not the best workaround, but knife help is basically a wrapper for man as well. If you're willing to use that instead, you won't need to adjust your MANPATH when upgrading Chef.
