short question:

not for po files. the msgid are to short and without any context.
(and btw: The server don't split any package description in separate
paragraphs and send this paragraphs to the translators. The
Translator/Reviewer get every time one unit. This unit must be
understandably for the user and so also for the Translator/Reviewer.)

Yes, I see this problem in the same way. Because of this I add some
things in the past. For package description this work, I hope also for
debconf translation.
About other parts I don't make really deeper thought.
