As the package is in woody already, and there is but 1 outstanding bug against it (and 1 outstanding wishlist item), I'd say ship it. People obviously consider it to be adequate. :) Honestly, I think it's better to have a partially incomplete manpage in Dutch with the notice that the English manpages are authorative for what's on the system than to have no Dutch manpages at all. There is a section REMARKS in manpages for such info, IIRC.
