I second this. There is already a problem with translated section 1
manpages being in manpage-<language> rather than in the relevant
binary packages, let's not extend the problem to english manpages too !
As an example, with lpr.1 being part of manpages-fr, and lprng
installed, I have `man lpr' giving the translated manpage for the
traditionnal lpr, and `LC_ALL=C man lpr' giving the english manpage
for lprng's lpr...
I think we should instead make it policy to include all section 1
manpages, including translated ones, into the relevant binary
packages. I can see that as a meaningful goal for slink.
