This repository was created some time ago, and used recently by Julien
Louis and myself to manage French translations of Debian specific
man pages.
As for now a daily running script scans package content and shows
man pages which have been updated by Debian developers.
Translators can check whether their translations are up to date by
using a check_transl.pl script similar to the one in webwml.
In the future we hope that developers will manage themselves the
English versions and get translations from this CVS repository,
but this is a long term goal, you have to send your translations
to the BTS in order for them to be included.

Ok, will do.

The Location field tells where to find this man page in the source package,
so it must not be set until this man page is shipped.
