In man-db, that code's there to tolerate the version of debootstrap in
woody (before you fixed #154794). The documented name for the frontend
is all lower case "noninteractive", so that compatibility code will be
removed from man-db. I don't see why the four packages above should get
this extra compatibility code for sarge; it will no longer do any good.
