If the maintainer doesn't send one....and if the few of us who track the state of debconf l10n completeness for their own language don't notice...then nothing will. As a matter of fact, when a maintainer changes debconf templates without notifying translators, I most often detect this the day after....because I see a new package with an incomplete French translation..:-) The only case where I miss this is the case where the maintainer updates the French translation him|herself. The same stands for newly introduced debconf templates. I suspect that the same more or less applies to at least German and Portuguese (because it's easier to do when very close to 100%). This is not done on purpose, but more a consequence of tools "limitations" (or lack of features). As this has proven efficient enough as of now, nobody started some work to improve it.
