In fact yes, I am afraid that such a listing could make people believe
that po4a is used only by Debian.
A quick search against po4a gave
 http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/Translating_Docs
 http://wiki.wesnoth.org/GettextForTranslators

Other programs are listed at
 http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po4a/fr
for instance videolan-doc, wine-doc and xfce4-terminal are surely
worth mentioning.
One can then search for their VCS to check that they really use po4a, e.g
  http://source.winehq.org/git/docs.git/
  http://svn.videolan.org/listing.php?repname=VideoLAN+Websites&path=/www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/src/#_www.videolan.org_doc_play-howto_src_
  but xfce4-terminal does not use po4a, no idea why it was listed.
