You might want to add support for ':all' to the exporters. libtext-charwidth-perl should depend on perlapi-5.8.0; dh_perl should help you with that. I am introducing two new packages as part of debconf. debconf-i18n will include debconf's mo files, translated documentation, and will depend on your packages, and on liblocale-gettext-perl and libtext-iconv-perl. debconf-english will be empty, and depend on nothing. debconf itself will depend on debconf-i18n | debconf-english, which should make fully i18ned debconf be installed by default, while leaving the option open to not install all that stuff for people who don't need it and need to conserve disk space. I've put debconf packages with these changes up at http://kitenet.net/~joey/tmp/debconf/ , please let me know how it works. I know of one bug -- try to reconfigure debconf with the editor frontend and debconf-i18n installed. Your text wrapper seems to leave out a newline that the other one puts in, and so the generated document looks like this: # (Choices: Dialog, Readline, Gnome, Editor, Noninteractive) What interface # should be used for configuring packages? debconf/frontend="" Instead of this: # (Choices: Dialog, Readline, Gnome, Editor, Noninteractive) What interface # should be used for configuring packages? debconf/frontend="" -- see shy jo
