Certainly not..:-) Having *all* debconf translations incomplete is a clear sign that the maintainer did change debconf templates and did not take care to send a call for translation updates. So the point of the lintian warning is to bring the maintainer's attention on this so that (s)he may either issue the call for translations and wait for a few mode days....or live with the package not being lintian clean, upload it, issue a call for translations and then re-upload a new package version after 1-2 weeks, with fixed translations. This lintian warning has proven to be very useful to make maintainers aware of the possibility of sending calls for translations with adapted tools.
