Please unblock package manpages-l10n

This version will be upload soon and I need your advise. Please note
that 4.9.2-1 has (as of this writing) not yet hit the archive and will
go through NEW unfortunately. I give a brief background for the
unfortunate situation for this package in [ Other info ] below.

[ Reason ]

manpages-l10n contains translations of manpages contained in Debian
into many languages. This is achieved by downloading the manpages from
Debian Unstable, converting them into po files, translating them and
if the translation is 80% or more complete, including it in the next
release. To have current translations for bullsey, upstream agreed to
provide a release close to the Freeze date. This release has happend
last weekend. 

"Unfortunately" afterwards psmics and procps decided to
ship translated man pages themeselves (which in itself is good), which
required them to be excluded by manpages-l10n. To cater for this,
upstream has made another release today (4.9.2) which I will package
in a moment and and ask my current sponsor (Craig) for upload.

Since we ship new languages (i.e. packages), manpages-l10n will need
to get through NEW and will not be able to reach the freeze date by
2021-02-12. The rationale for this is in [ Other info ].

Now to the question:
Due to the late changes, the upstream version now contains man pages
shipped in manpages-es-extra. Some time ago, we requested this package
to be removed (#980885), as we believe, shipping this package is a
disservice to Debian users. However, the maintainer has not responded.
4.9.2-1 will not ship the files, so no conflict is present, but ideally
manpages-es-extra would be removed and the much (!) more current files 
would be shipped by manpages-es (from manpages-l10n). If you feel this
is possible, I would prepare another upload for this.

[ Impact ]

a) Some users will get old translations, i.e. from October,
b) some (for ES, IT and MK) will get no current translated man 
   pages at all.

[ Tests ]

There is no code, but I rebuild the entire set of man pages daily
(also during the build) and look for possible build errors.

[ Risks ]

This is a leave and pure documentation package. Users can always
switch to the english man page if for whatever reason there should be
a problem with the translation.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing

If an debdiff is really required, please tell me the version you would
like to have it against.

[ Other info ]
Toddy, the original (and main) maintainer is caught in real life, so
he transferred me (a Debian maintainer) the appropriate rights to
upload manpages-l10n. Howerver, as DM I'm not allowed to get packages
through NEW (needed to support ES, IT and MK) and hence I spend the
last weeks looking for a DD who could sponser this upload.
Fortunately, Craig was so kind to fill in this role. 

Once NEW is passed I'm available and capable of performing subsequent
uploads (if necessary), i.e. for fixing further bugs. (I'm a DM for ~
10 years)

If you need any further information regarding the unblock request, I'm
available and usually respond within 24 hours latest.
