Did I miss something?
Looks like manpages-l10n is missing some package releationships. Also
xz might do so as well (I did not check).
I'm not sure why, but I will fix this in my next upload which is due
in ~ 1-2 weeks. (Please note, that the backport might be some time
later, as first the version in unstable needs to reach testing).
I will investigate this in the next days and propose correct package
relationship; I had similiar situations in the past as well.
Greetings
Helge
