Bug#218943: ngerman -- \language number for ngerman undefined, default 255 used

Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2-5
Severity: normal

Hi,
I'm using ngerman (language package for "neue Deutsche Rechtschreibung")
When I use the latex command to compile some tex file, I get this
warning:

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/german/ngerman.sty v2.5e 1998-07-08
ngerman -- \language number for ngerman undefined, default 255 used,
ngerman -- Please read "gerdoc.tex" how to install hyphenation patterns.)

Unfortunately I don't understand the instructions on how to fix this.
I think it should be fixed in the package as anyone wants hyphenation.
