observation:
20a9f34 ("remove debconf", 2022-07-13)
This essentially stopped building translated manpages (I guess)
(This removed old debian/po/* but existing po/* seems to be not used for
building manapage)
As a result, translated manpage files such as
/usr/share/man/da/man8/adduser.8.gz are missing in current binary debs
while source contain po4a for manpage.
All these links are generated by debian/links and create dangling links.
I don't see fix for these in salsa pending, yet.
