Why do I need all these apt-howto-* files?

[Ron Johnson <ron.l.johnson@cox.net>]

$ dpkg -l | grep apt-howto
ii  apt-howto                1.7.6-4           A Guide to APT
ii  apt-howto-en             1.7.6-4           A Guide to APT
ii  apt-howto-ko             1.7.6-4           A Guide to APT
ii  apt-howto-pl             1.7.6-4           A Guide to APT
ii  apt-howto-pt-br          1.7.6-4           A Guide to APT

If I try to remove the apt-howto-ko, apt-howto-pl or apt-howto-pt-br,
it tries to remove the whole shooting match: apt-howto*.
