They aren't missing:
usr/share/man/man8/systemd-journal-remote.8.gz
usr/share/man/man8/systemd-journal-upload.8.gz

Why would the binaries be symlinked or moved to /usr/bin when they're not meant to be run directly?
Comment by Dave Reisner (falconindy) - Sunday, 28 February 2016, 18:15 GMT
Upstream's rationale for putting a binary in /usr/bin is that it's useful when run directly and generally considered to be stable. Recent examples of binaries moving from /usr/lib are systemd-resolve and systemd-activate. Binaries like systemd-journald-remote and systemd-journald-upload are meant to be run via their respective services, and therefore will never be moved out of /usr/lib.

I've no idea how you managed to install systemd without these manpages, but they're assuredly present in the tarball.

There's no bug here, so... closing.
