I put the original translator Simon Brandmair in the loop. Simon, are
you working / intend on working on an update?

Is there a generic place for man page translation in Debian? I ask,
because the current german man pages are a collection of different
quality, different sources of information, some even not an
translation but a (shorter) rewrite. So in the mid-term it would be
nice, if all man pages are in a format which makes updates easy (like
po). Even man pages I translated are probably out of date, as I read
in the changelog "updated man page" but get no notification or diffs
to update the translation also. If there is such a central place, I'd
like to commit the man pages I wrote or translated there as well.
Also is there some document which describes the change to po? As I
understood in this discussion, there are two po formats (po4a and
xmlpo or similar) in the loop? I'd prefer to work with sgml/xml if
possible (thats how I write my (translated) man pages as well).

First I'd like to hear Simons opinion. If he's out of time I can see
if I can find some time to update the file.
