As far as I can see on investigation with current lexgrog, it's purely a
cosmetic problem in lexgrog, so I don't think it's really appropriate to
nag for it to be fixed in a particular Debian release (and even
incorrect whatis output is hardly release-critical).
'whatis mdel' returns correct output for me (it wouldn't surprise me if
man-db << 2.4.3 parsed this wrongly, but current versions seem fine);
it's only the lexgrog tool that has an unhelpful output format.
I've fixed this upstream now:

Teach lexgrog front-end about pages with multiple name/description
pairs (Debian bug #342834).
* src/descriptions.c (parse_descriptions): Allow base_name to be
NULL to suppress ensuring that base_name is in the returned list.
(gripe_bad_store, store_descriptions): Move to ...
* src/descriptions_store.c: ... here.
* src/lexgrog.l (main): Use parse_descriptions to split lg.whatis up
into its component descriptions, and display each on a separate
line.
* src/Makefile.in (mandb, lexgrog): Adjust object lists for the
above.
* docs/NEWS: Document this.
Thanks,
