This was caused by '--version' option not being supported by some of the programs. Fixed in 2.5.0-2 upload.
Looks like there are some more errors for --help, see this command:
$ zgrep -iE -- '-help|not valid' /usr/share/man/man1/pdb_*.1.gz
Also a lot of the manual pages are even more broken now, some of them
contain just an error message from the program and no help text but
that help text was present in the 2.5.0-1 upload. I used diffoscope to compare the 2.5.0-1 and 2.5.0-2 binaries to notice this.
The builds also do not seem deterministic now. Rebuilds on
reproduce.debian.net show such a diff:

I don't quite understand what goes wrong with sed et al, but that seems bad.
Please either fix it or if the manpages are useless anyway, drop help2man?
