Now I'm finished with importing the contents from manpages-es.

The next release will probably be in january. In my opinion, it is better
to include the Spanish translations as soon as possible. Better
incompletely translated man pages than nothing (as you might know, the
manpages-es package has been removed some time ago).

For upcoming releases, I could imagine to also import the content of

I will start soon with the import, but in a separate Git branch. This way
we can merge the extra man pages in one step to avoid file conflicts,
because manpages-es-extra is still in Debian and will then be replaced with
manpages-es.
