The manpage should live in /usr/X11R6/man.  If you're getting two
copies as you say, you could try and trace it as follows:

   # Build the package, keeping a log
   debuild -us -uc 2>&1 | tee ../build.log
   less ../build.log
   # Then search for usr/share/man/man1 within the log

That might give you some hints as to what is happening.

If that doesn't help, just rm -f the extra copy just before you
finally build the package.
