I am strongly in favor doing this for as many man pages as possible.
But this is definitly post Etch!

I extend my thanks for their help here.

(Please note, I am not the one reviewing this!)
This is very good post-Etch, i.e. for Lenny. For Etch, the (slightly)
outdated but translated version should be kept. By experience I know
that *many* translated man pages are outdated, but often they are
"close enough" for most users, so by far better than a completely
untranslated version. If you want, we (the german translator) can
provide you with a note that some changes are not included in the
translated version and hence if in doubt the english original should
be used. This text of course will go, once the transition to gettext has
happened, of course.
Thanks for noticing and taking care of the translation!
Greetings
Helge
