It's not just that, since the rest of the build system wasn't really
thought to handle more langs.
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/-/commit/9125f92e3ab2e3161f3ebe3d775b12ab6649699f

But your translation seem to have several syntax issues:

../scripts/debchange.1:68: (po4a::man)
               Unknown '<' or '>' sequence. […]

after fixing that one another popped up, and there I stopped, so please
fix them.

I recommend you at least try to run po4a before submitting this, since
that's what caught this issue.

Right, but the probably lies in the syntax you are using.  We don't have
documentation in LaTeX, if you want to add such a message you'd have to
provide it in POD format, Groff and XSLT, not LaTeX.  (or just one of
them, then it'll appear only in the manpages built from that source).

See add_fr/ for one lanauge providing all of them, and add_de/ for one
providing only one for Groff.
