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.

Thanks,
