When you install the package, it tells you:
Setting up manpages-de (0.1-5) ...
To enable these manpages set LC_MESSAGES to 'de_DE'. Man will then
search for german manpages under /usr/man/de_DE (this directory should
be added to the MANDB_MAPs in etc/manpath.conf for catmans to be stored).
"man man" tells you:
International support is available with this package.
Native language manual pages are accessible (if available
on your system) via use of locale functions. To activate
such support, it is necessary to set either $LC_MESSAGES,
$LANG or another system dependent environment variable to
your language locale, usually specified in the POSIX
1003.1 based format:
<language>[_<territory>[.<character-set>[,<version>]]]
If the desired page is available in your locale, it will
be displayed in lieu of the standard (usually American
English) page.
But I do think /usr/doc/manpages-de should contain a reference
to this. The message output by postinst is very easy to miss,
especially if using dselect.
