man-db/install-setuid definitely exists in the package's templates file, so this looks like a bug in debconf or its configuration.

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). > I saw your correnspondance, which I found when searching on Google for > +man-db +install-setuid I'll take it from that that I should be cc'ing you on mails to debian-user.
