You can do the following:
1. build-depend on "locales"
2. put the "locale-gen" script I attached into debian/locale-gen
(changing en_US.UTF-8 to tr_TR.UTF-8 in your case)
3. in debian/rules:
manpages:
sh debian/locale-gen
LOCPATH=$(CURDIR)/locales $(MAKE) manpages
The idea is not mine, but I don't remember whose anymore :(. But hey, it
works for me.
