A big thanks for that.
(How) Do you plan to deal with translations ?
perkamon-fr, the project which translates man-pages to french, provides them

It currently shows the manpages of *ALL* packages in Debian, for all languages.

http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=git&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=Debian+6.0+squeeze&format=html&locale=en
