Bug#259227: lintian: Please warn if man page only available in "other" languages



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.0
Severity: wishlist

While packaging I forgot by accident to include the english version of
the man page for a new binary, only included the german version. While
lintian correctly complains when no man page is present, it does not
even warn if only a non-english man page is present. Since english is
fallback, shipping only a non-english man page leaves most users
without a man page at all.
