Hello Daniel,
Below I will explain how to merge precise-e2 and quantal versions of the 
manual translation. If you want to merge lucid with precise or quantal, 
the steps are the same, just change the names.

1. Download 
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/quantal/+pots/ubuntu-manual/de/+translate 
(29% translated). Rename it to manual-de-quantal.po
2. Download 
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/precise-e2/+pots/ubuntu-manual/de/+translate 
(33% translated). Rename it to manual-de-precise-e2.po
3. In the terminal, use the following command:
msgmerge manual-de-precise-e2.po manual-de-quantal.po > manual-de-merged.po.
4. Open manual-de-merged.po in your favorite CAT (I use Lokalize, but 
poedit or others will be good as well)
5. In the CAT you will see a number of strings that are fuzzy, i.e. the 
translation is almoat, but not exactly, the same as the one from 
precise-e2. You can make the necessary changes and save them.
6. Upload manual-de-merged.po to Launchpad. Before you do that, in a 
text editor (gedit) copy the line with the export date, like 
"X-Launchpad-Export-Date: 2012-07-04 14:24+0000\n", from 
manual-de-quantal.po to manual-de-merged.po. You may first rename the 
merged file to de.po if you like, but it is not absolutely necessary.

Success! Let me know if you still have any questions.
Greets,
Hannie
