I agree that this is a problem - but I still cannot reproduce this, and it
means I won't be able to confirm any fix:

ajk at kukkaseppele:~$ LANG=en_US.UTF8 man grep-dctrl | fgrep "apt|dpkg" | od -c
0000000                               %       g   r   e   p   -   s   t
0000020   a   t   u   s       -   P       -   e       '   a   p   t   |
0000040   d   p   k   g   '  \n
0000046

Perhaps there's some groff (or man) configuration matter involved?

There is no translated man page.
