This is a *game*. And part of the game is the manual page. If you are
not interested in the game, don't use ist and don't read its man page.
Simple. It is intended to be fun, but of course, it may be perceived
different by different readers.
So yes, this idea of the original authors got faithfully translated
into German.

Yes, man -k/apropos sometimes yields unwanted ressources.
I suggest the following:
apt-file search sway | grep bin
…
→ Now I know the package name
apt-cache show sway| grep man
…
→ Check for man pages
Currently this packgage is not in the set of "to be translated" man
pages. Of course, you can ask on debian-l10n-ger...@lists.debian.org
if some translator would be willing to work on this, if you need a
German version.
