This happend when we had a transition of maintainers upstream. So
I think we carried the rename.ul man page back then a little too
long and so it went into Bullseye when it should't have.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
You have the following options:
1. Ignore the translated man page
2. Install the backport for manpages-de / manpages-fr
This also contains more and improved man page translations
3. Upgrade to testing/bookworm
In Testing/Bookworm, rename.ul is both present in english, as well as
in German, French and Ukrainian. So everything is fine there.
Greetings
Helge
