I write: !Maybe somebody will now say: "But some users don't get all packages !from debian project, there are some privat deb archives, Progreny, !..." ! !This is not a real problem. We can collect more po files in one dir !(maybe /var/lib/dpkg/dpkg-desc/<lang>/) and generate one dpkg-desc.mo !file from this *po-files. the 'big' distributors can make a own collection of all translation in one po file (like /var/lib/dpkg/dpkg-desc/ja/debian-jp.po). But also a single package from user joe can include a file in this dir with (only) one translation...
