Hi,
http://bugs.debian.org/153091
With translated manpages it is not uncommon to have
foo.sgml foo.es.sgml foo.fr.sgml foo.it.sgml ...
in the same directory. As docbook2man generates foo.1 for all these
files, it is not very convenient. Moreover dh_installman is able to
handle translated manpages whose name looks like foo.<xx>.1
So it would be nice if docbook2man did generate foo.<xx>.1 instead
of foo.1.
A partial patch is attached to the bug report (not tested)

Yes, that would be useful.

The problem with the patch is that it uses $LANG to determine the
language that the document is written in---unfortunately, it just
tells us the language that the current user is using, not the
languange used by the document author. For that, we must use the
current value of the 'lang' attribute. (That way a single document
could contain all of the translations.)
