Why a Conflict? bumping the versioned Replaces: to (<= 0.5-2) should do
the trick as well, and doesn't force manpages-de off people's systems.
I'll remove the German translation of su(1) in the next upload.
(Incidentially, this is semi-automated. Before uploading a new version,
I check the Packages file for duplicate man pages and remove them from
the manpages-de debs.)

Regards,

Daniel.
