It may depend as there are some manuals which contain parts maybe not very 
important for user (IIRC some kdeedu manuals contain chapter for prospective 
developer or translator which are quite irrelevant for simple user).
I think even, if index.docbook is not translated but some separately 
translatable sub-parts are, it may be still useful for users.
