If a package has an existing file with a name like foo.bar.1, dh_installman currently installs it to /usr/share/man/man1/foo.bar.1. With this change it would be installed as foo.1 in the "bar" locale. This problem already exists for pages with names like foo.pl.1, (which could be perl or Polish). Packages using dh_installman have workarounds if it does the wrong thing for those pages. I think I need to defer this change to the next compatability level, v9, which will be implemented after the release of lenny. In the meantime, dh_installman --language=que debian/myprogram.que.8 should work. What doesn't work is dh_installman with no --language... -- see shy jo
