I've fixed this for the next upstream release (man-db 2.5.4):

Mon Dec  8 13:08:22 GMT 2008  Colin Watson  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * libdb/db_store.c (compare_ids): If the promote_links argument is
          true, consider SO_MAN equivalent to ULT_MAN.
          (replace_if_necessary): Update call to compare_ids.
        * libdb/db_storage.h (compare_ids): Update prototype.
        * src/man.c (compare_candidates): Consider SO_MAN equivalent to
          ULT_MAN for the purposes of sorting candidate pages for display
          (Debian bug #384301).

#409012 has the same cause, so I'm merging these two bugs.

Thanks,
