The problem is that actually installing manconv(1) involves a change to man/fr/Makefile.am, and changing that timestamp would mean that the build system would want to rerun automake, which would involve new build-dependencies and all kinds of fragility ... This will be easier as of man-db 2.5.8 because I switched to AM_MAINTAINER_MODE there to avoid this kind of problem. However: it turns out to be possible to make this work by handling the French translation of manconv(1) specially in debian/rules; it's just rather ugly. I'll include all your updated translations in 2.5.7-5.
