[Mageia-dev] Ownership of /usr/share/man/XX, %find_lang --with-man

I used the --with-man option of the %find_lang RPM macro, but noticed that it 
adds all /usr/share/man/XX and /usr/share/man/XX/manX directories to the 
package, which, it seems, is bad.

Spturtle noticed that for example /usr/share/man/sr belongs to no other 
package and prefers that it belongs to too much packages than to no package at 
all.

I looked at what fedora does, and it looks like they added all those 
translated manpages dirs to the filesystem package ( see 
http://sophie.zarb.org/explorer/usr/share/man/sr and select fedora ) 
It would solve the problem at hand and we could start cleaning wrong 
ownerships, such as those : 
http://sophie.zarb.org/explorer/usr/share/man/fr (select mageia)

What do you think ?
