For those wondering I have found the solution. Someone beat me to the bug
report. The bug report indicates that this only affects unstable but it also
affects testing.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323914

Solution: A symlink is created in /usr/share/mantis/gui/core to ../../../adodb
which has moved to ../../../php/adodb. Simply delete the existing symlink and
add a new one e.g.

cd /usr/share/mantis/gui/core
rm adodb
ln -s ../../../php/adodb .
