This is still confusing and undocumented in Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
I don't know why the extra /fsstnd subdirectory exists or why the
MANDB_MAP for /usr/man and /usr/share/man should be different.
If you use "ln -s share/man /usr/man" then the easiest work-around is:
# cd /var/cache/man
# mv fsstnd/* .
# rmdir fsstnd
# ln -s . fsstnd
Now "man -k" works fine.
