It's failing on the buildds with:
po4a --no-backups --variable srcdir=../../man \
                ../../man/po/po4a.cfg
../../man/dpkg.1:48: (po4a::man)
               Unknown '<' or '>' sequence. Faulty message: \fBdpkg\fP
               verwaltet einige n?tzliche Informationen ?ber verf?gbare
               Pakete. Die
               Informationen sind in drei Klassen unterteilt: \fBStatus\fP,
               <Auswahlstatus>
               und \fBSchalter\fP. Diese Werte sind Haupts?chlich zur
               ?nderung durch
               \fBdselect\fP gedacht.
