This is correct, it also breaks (and replaces) older manpages-de from stable.
This is not related to this bug but stems from the fact that the
source package manpages-de was replaced manpages-l10n which in turn
now builds manpages-de amongst others.
Sorry if this is confusing.

For #982059 yes, but if you perform an update from stable (without
psmic involved) then the other breaks is needed as well, see #959846.
Hope this clarifies.
