Argh. I didn't see the typo.

I hope I did it right.

I did that, and I adapted po4a.conf which I omitted while committing
Felipes changes. However, po4a now complains about an unknown encoding:

$ po4a po4a.conf
 (162 entries)
 Unknown encoding '' at /usr/share/perl5/Locale/Po4a/TransTractor.pm line 825

which vanished after replacing the obviously broken
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: \n"
in pt_BR.po with
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

Now, I get
$ po4a po4a.conf
 (162 entries)
 No candidate position for the addendum translator_pt_BR.add.
 Addendum translator_pt_BR.add does NOT apply to ../adduser.8.pt_BR (translation discarded).

which was solved by iconving translator_pt_BR.add from iso-8859-1 to
utf-8.

The more I think about it, I believe that a doc/Makefile is probably
in order to get the complexity from debian/rules.

Greetings
Marc
