I don't test this real, use this a fallback per - mo file, or - message? If it is per mo file, it is not usefull for our problem. But we can patch gettext. IMHO a per message based fallback is for normal gettext application also a nice thing. (with this someone can make a de_AT:de_DE:de:fr) If gettext support this per message (or if we patch it otherwise): Please, please dpkg and apt maintainers/developers use gettext for the translation! With gettext we have all, what we need and this all with some nice, small patches.
