This is also the case in 4.21.0-2~bpo12+1

If you look at the version in 4.18.1-1~bpo11+1 you see:
scanf, fscanf, sscanf, vscanf, vsscanf, vfscanf - Anpassung des Eingabeformats

I.e. a single man page was provided for many functions. If you look at
the latest version (post 4.21, but the change is minor, if any):
sscanf, vsscanf \- input string format conversion

This means these two functions got their own man page, which is not
yet translated.

I can put this on my (long) plate, but this is definitly post 4.22,
i.e. I might make it for 4.23, scheduled end of June (and subsequently
backported to stable, but due to the summer this might not happen
before early August).

If you need this translation more urgent please ask on
debian-l10n-german if someone has capabilities to handle this in the
next ~ 3 weeks, then it could be part of 4.22 (and the subsequent
backport), so if you use backports you could get it shortly after
Easter.

Greetings

             Helge
