Here is a patch against retriever/choose-mirror/makeheader.pl

But where must PO files go?
There are at least 2 ways:
  * all messages in a central place (debian-installer/po/ or
    debian-installer/libdebian-installer/po/ so that PO catalogs may
    be shipped with libdebian-installer-dev and used by all modules
    to generate module-dependent MO files)
  * each component ships its own po subdirectory
IMO the first one is more translator-friendly.
