You will see that error if the language is not included in the list of
langauges to be built in config_office/set_soenv.in:

my @LANGUAGES = ("ARAB", "CHINSIM", "CHINTRAD", "CZECH", "DAN", "DTCH", "ENUS", "FREN", "GREEK", "ITAL",
"JAPN", "KOREAN", "POL", "PORT", "RUSS", "SLOVAK", "SPAN", "SWED", "TURK" );

Try adding "CAT" to the list, remove debian/stampdir/configure and restart
the build.  You can avoid building everything again by using the -nc switch
with dpkg-buildpackage/debuild.

If that works, you will need to create a patch for the change in
debian/patches, and also file an issue upstream asking for it to be added to
the official verion.
