Thanks for pushing me in the right direction! The following indeed
seems to work:

$ cat /var/cache/pbuilder/hooks/D10-man-db
#!/bin/sh
# Don't rebuild man-db

echo "I: Preseed man-db/auto-update to false"
debconf-set-selections <<EOF
man-db man-db/auto-update boolean false
EOF


Maybe you could add it as an example to
/usr/share/doc/pbuilder/examples/ and/or in the documentation?


Cheers,
gregor
