Please unblock package man-db.  I notice that openssh 1:6.7p1-3 was
already unblocked, and man-db is for the same reason: it drops obsolete
assumptions about dpkg-statoverride's path.  Even if the
/usr/sbin/dpkg-statoverride symlink is restored, I'd rather not have
this potentially cause problems during upgrades from jessie to jessie+1.
