Yeah, the debian package does install it, but I didn't found how to add some
extra rules to the Makefile.PL. If anybody knows how to do so, it'd be cool.

How, the lack of sub-directory recursion in this stupid Makefile.PL again.
Sorry, I'm puzzeled.

ls /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/po4a.mo ?
I suspect the same kind of problem than above. Couldn't you try to install
the debian package? I though gentoo was based on debian anyhow...

The translated man page generation takes place during the debian package
compilation. This is wrong again.
