An explanation is hidden in /usr/share/doc/intltool-debian/changelog.gz:
* intltool-extract: Fields for the first template are now numbered from
1001, for the 2nd template from 2001 and so forth. All references are
written into the POT file, which allows podebconf-display-po to handle
strings which appear several times in templates. Closes: #374463
Thanks Yuri Kozlov for the report and Thomas Huriaux for the fix.
This change will also let podebconf-display-po do a better job when
recreating original templates file, in particular it will be able to
handle cases when other fields follow Description, as has been discussed
in #366227.
I try to avoid changing the format of generated PO files, but this one
was really needed to let podebconf-display-po do a better job.
