You can see the answer to this if you imagine an amount of debt to be the whole estate. That is one heir is holding all the assets.
If the debt wasn't repaid first, before division, the other heir would get nothing at all.
The estate is the total after all debts have been repaid.
So you add the value of the debt to the residual estate. Give half of the result to the one with no debts.
This has the same effect as the debtor repaying a sum equal to half his debt to the non-debtor, and then dividing the existing estate by 2.
