That is basically the issue, except that there are several man pages
(IIRC, I can check tonight).

As always, when such a transfer occurs, I can provide an upload
without the affected man pages and with the proper package releations.
Now sÃnce bookworm is released I do not intend to provide any further
upload to oldstable and I do not see any reason to processes this
issue any further, affected users can upgrade to stable now to get the
latest localized man pages from xz-utils proper.
If there are technical issues for performing this upload to oldstable
and hence actions form my side (to enable smooth upgrading) are needed
please let me know.
Greetings
Helge
