I don't think that keeping opened a bug report that talks about
completely outdated versions of the program is a good idea;

Since this bug report was sent, aptitude switched to po4a for manpages
translations. So, mentions about "this part is not translated" are
pointless as this is precisely the point of po4a to allow parts of
documents to be untranslated.

It is thus a very bad policy to keep bugs opened only because a
translation based on po4a is incomplete. If we do this, we'll spend
our lives opending/closing bug reports.

Admitedly, there are a few others issues mentioned in this bug
report. But they are mixed for formatting issues that are most of the
time obsoleted by the changes in the build methods for manpages.

So, if a few issues remain, I would advise reporting them *separately*
(and even more fixing them in the PO file). Keeping this bug opened is
just a waste of time. I won't do that myself because I hate bug
ping-pong but I think the bug really should be close whatsoever.

So, if nobody closes the bug, see you in two years when nobody will
have worked on the bug report and it is still opened..:-)...then I'll
close it.
