Dependency issue of the manpages

[Keita Maehara <maehara@debian.or.jp>]

I'm a maintainer of the package manpages-ja and I've received a bug
report which says "manpages-ja depends on man-db. It should suggest
man-browser instead". But man-browser is not in the
virtual-package-names-list. So I've checked the dependency of the
manpages:

man-db          Provides: man-browser
manpages        Suggests: man-browser
manpages-dev    Suggests: man-browser
manpages-de     Suggests: man
manpages-de-dev Suggests: man
manpages-es     Suggests: man-browser
manpages-fr     Depends : man-db | man
manpages-ko     Suggests: man-browser
manpages-it     Suggests: man-browser
manpages-ja     Depends : man-db

Then it seems apropriate that:

1. man-browser should go into the virtual-package-names-list.
2. manpages-de and manpages-de-dev should suggest man-browser.
3. manpages-fr should suggest (not depend) man-browser.
4. manpages-ja should suggest (not depend) man-browser.

Is this right?
