... because po-debconf internally calls gettext tools (msgmerge), which
are responsible for text wrap. PO editors should follow the same rules
when wrapping in order to ease keeping track of changes.
For the same reason you should not specify any width and get the default,
e.g. with
msgattrib nl.po
or
msgcat nl.po
