Bug#768582: unblock: man-db/2.7.0.2-3

[Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock

Please unblock package man-db.  I notice that openssh 1:6.7p1-3 was
already unblocked, and man-db is for the same reason: it drops obsolete
assumptions about dpkg-statoverride's path.  Even if the
/usr/sbin/dpkg-statoverride symlink is restored, I'd rather not have
this potentially cause problems during upgrades from jessie to jessie+1.
