Umm, not reallly.
Upstream of xscreensaver lives at http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/
Debian takes it from there, creates a .deb package, which eventualy
ends up in Ubuntu.
It is always good to make the translation as much upstream as
possible, because then it automatically ends up in the downstream
projects without any special effort.

You should:
* download the latest source code from
http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/download.html
* update the po/de.po file
* send it to the upstream author
The translation will appear in Debian/Ubuntu as soon as new upstream
version of xscreensaver will be released.
