I understand that but if upstream does not use the date in the manual
page and its translation, adding those ourselves is not going to help us
track whether they are outdated or not.
So it's a recommandation that we should do to upstream projects if they
do not use a system like po4a but not something worth to be added by us.
As far as Debian is concerned, we should simply use po4a on all our
own manual pages like dpkg is doing.
