It's actually existing.
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man8/fstrim.8.html

[Sam_ (and-sam)]

Although online manpage exists, the package isn't provided in 12.04.

Binary came from util-linux package.

17:43 root@puchatek:~# dpkg -S `which fstrim`
util-linux: /sbin/fstrim

[Sam_ (and-sam)]

Fileslist of util-linux in precise incl. /usr/share/man/man8/fstrim.8.gz and it's displayed here.
Could you upgrade to latest kernel and test again please.

Reinstalled util-linux and got manpage back. Sorry for mess.
