This is also the case of at least the French and German man pages. They
were translated by another man page translation project.
The problem with shadow is that there were no development upstream for
some time and the distributions maintained their own version of shadow
related program/man pages. This (with age) can explain some differences
between the translations and the current Debian English pages.

I'm sorry if you felt it as a 'deadline'. You can of course take your
time. I just wanted to point you that, even if the shadow package is
frozen, there is an opportunity to get translation included for Sarge.
And there is obviously an opportunity to get them after, if you simply
prefer to keep these pages, or keep them with just a simple notice that
there are some more up-to-date man pages in English.
Kind Regards,
