As root:
# apt-get install build-essential debhelper flex gettext groff libdb3-dev
As an ordinary user:
$ apt-get source man-db
$ cd man-db-2.4.1
$ debian/rules build
As the 'man' user:
$ cd /WHEREVER/YOU/DID/THE/ABOVE/src
$ gdb ./mandb
(gdb) run --no-purge --quiet

If you have trouble building the package, let me know and I'll produce a
debugging build for you, but it would be easier if you could get it
working on your system.

I'm using 2.4.1-12 myself, and haven't had any other reports.
