The initial problem was found on an 'edgy' system.
When installed under 'feisty' the following errors are also seen, which look to be related.

This bug has been fixed as debian bug 436523 : /usr/bin/barcode: man page run together. This fix is now available in Hardy.

barcode (0.98+debian-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * doc/manpager seems to need gawk to produce proper manpages
    (Closes: #436523).
