Replacing man with man-db will leave the old whatis databases on the
system, with no package owning them.
On my system:
 /opt/java/jre/man/whatis
 /opt/java/man/whatis
 /usr/local/man/whatis
 /usr/man/whatis
 /usr/man/it/whatis
 /usr/share/man/whatis
 /usr/share/man/it/whatis

A warning about the issue?

A solution could be a man package update with an uninstall script that
take care of this, then go on with man-db.
