I had to shorten my first post by the way. So the preceding code is not complete. Apt-get wants to remove ALL the libs too.

@Ariadeno,
I guess it's because apparently man-db depends on coreutils, bsdutils, etc. which (probably) requires removing busybox and I bet that everything depends, directly or indirectly, on busybox.

Damn! So, I have no chance to run coreutils etc. with busybox together without messing everything up?

No idea, but it looks like you're not getting man-db anytime soon 
Given that man-db wants to also pull these:
bsdmainutils bsdutils coreutils debianutils groff-base mktemp
you could try simulating installation of each one individually, e.g.
# apt-get -s install bsdmainutils
# apt-get -s install bsdutils
..
and see which one(s) cause the whole mess.
Honestly, if all you want the man *database* (without the man program, etc.) I cannot imagine how the maintainer managed to massively fvck up the dependencies (but hey, this is debian).
One option is to simply unpack the .deb and live with it..

I rebooted the phone but no luck.
"manpath not found" when trying manpath
what do you mean by external folder. A folder outside of the directory tree or /media/External ?
