You need to make exceptions for zh_TW, zh_CN and pt_BR because these
languages flavours do not have different ISO 639 codes (for reasons we
debated recently here, btw)

Hmmm, what happens if translators update, then one templates is
changed, debconf-updatepo is run (which changes PO-Revision-Date),
then another translators make updates?
I fear that only the lastest translator changes will then appear.
Thus, for each debconf-updatepo run, we HAVE to run the script before,
then update the changelog with its output. Will be hard to remember...:-)
