It's often the case, that a programm ships man pages for several languages. But
I don't think, that's negative. Sure it's an "extra baggage", but it keeps the
"mess" low, any you always get the latest man pages from upstream.

I've read somewhere, that the man-pages-* are outdated (not to say unusable) in
comparison with the original English man pages, so I suggest to remove
man-pages-de from the distribution...

Can someone verify, that the man pages are outdated?.
