man-db/install-setuid definitely exists in the package's templates file,
so this looks like a bug in debconf or its configuration. Could you post
your /etc/debconf.conf?

No, you shouldn't. It's supposed to be found in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/man-db.templates, and to be taken from there into the
debconf database (probably /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat).
