It seems to me, that there was no 100% complete Catalan translation for 
Squeeze:

1.
The package version from installation-guide, which was released with
6.0.0 was (grabbed from PTS):
	[2011-01-24] Accepted 20110122 in unstable (low) (Christian Perrier)

2.
The latest commit for Catalan (by guillem) before that upload was:
	http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i?view=revision&revision=65992

3.
I have done a checkout for rev.65992 and these are the Catalan statistics
for that revision:
	21 files need an update
	1 file untranslated

4.
After that, there was only one more commit from guillem:
	http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i?view=revision&revision=66366
These are the statistics for that revision:
	20 files need an update
	1 file untranslated

5.
>From that time on, there was no more translation work for Catalan.
So I am unsure, if an automatic conversion from xml to po is possible ...
