No document, indeed.

So, yes regenerate the POT file with "debconf-updatepo".

Then send a call for translation updates (and eventually new 
translations) with the magic "podebconf-report-po" command.

It is commonly preferred that you wait for some translation updates to 
be sent before uploading the package with modified templates....but it 
doesn't harm that much if you first upload, then wait for translations, 
then upload again a few days|weeks later.

A minimum 10 days delay is recommended to leave time to translators and 
teams to follow their internal translation/review processes for those 
that have one.
