First only man pages etc. from debian only programs (like debconf, dpkg,
apt, ...). Maybe more on request of the maintainer or a user (if
the upstream don't have a own translation efforts, like kde, mozilla,
...)

I don't like manpage-LANG, ... packages. For the remote future we need
more PACKAGE-doc-LANG packages, maybe with a own maintainer and maybe
autogenerated.

I don't thing is is very usefull to include the documentation of all
languages in a package of the present structure. We need something like
subpackages or a better scaling package management.
