Because I'm pretty sure this is not a problem in man-db, but I've not been feeling well today, I'm preemtively reassigning it to dpkg for now (to not block man-db from migrating), go to sleep, and finish the testing with the patched dpkg tomorrow. If this happens to end up being a problem somewhere else, I'll reassign accordingly.
