The bug title here is incorrect anyway; there's nothing Emacs is doing
that would avoid honouring $MANPATH, and that was never related to your
problem. This isn't Debian-specific.

I don't think it needs to be. It's creating an index for your private
manual hierarchy; either (a) it should be obvious that this would live
within your private manual hierarchy, since where else would it go or
(b) you should not need to care. :-)
