Ok, my question was whether you compiled it yourself (because otherwise 
the error might come from a specific binary package). But since you did, 
the error has to be somewhere in the interaction between gnucash and the 
compile process on Debian.

Oh, I was wrong -- the installed message catalog is called 'gnucash.mo' 
(no g in there) but in the locale-specific directory. If you called 
configure with --prefix=/usr/local, then it should be in 
/usr/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gnucash.mo . In other prefixes 
accordingly. Could you check whether it is there? You can then copy 
gnucash's po/de.gmo file to that location and check whether the amount 
of translation changed. If that fixes it, then something in the 
po/Makefile is broken, probably because of some gettext version 
problems. Could you then send that Makefile to gnucash-devel?
