Well, we should certainly not focus on coreutils.
The very first question is: do translated and English man pages belong
to the same package?

IMO answer is yes, with a special exception to the manpages package.
Ideally, manpages-xx only contain the translations of man pages contained
in the manpages package (and also -dev), all other translations being
shipped by their respective packages.
