The bug is on falcon. The name of the executable is falcon-start, so its man page should be /usr/share/man/man1/falcon-start.1.gz

This bug was fixed in the package falcon - 2.0.5-0ubuntu2

---------------
falcon (2.0.5-0ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: move falcon.1 manpage to falcon-start.1 (LP: #229776).

I think this trivial fix should be considered for Hardy too.
