Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'jessie' to 'stretch' to 'buster'.
It installed fine in 'jessie', and upgraded to 'stretch' and 'buster'
successfully, but then the upgrade to 'bullseye' failed.

In case the package was not part of an intermediate stable release,
the version from the preceding stable release was kept installed.

Up to stretch, the localized manpages were part of manpages-fr-extra.
That package did not exist in buster (but may have survived from
stretch) and was resurrected as a transitional package in bullseye.
Therefore the missing B+R only show up in more complicated upgrade
scenarios.


cheers,

Andreas
