Bug#931135: German translation made me laugh during a meeting

[Stefan Potyra <stefan@potyra.de>]

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.19.6
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n

Hi,

the following translation in the "FEATURE AREAS" -> "qa" might need some
improvement:

LANG=C man dpkg-buildflags
___snip___
       canary This  setting  (disabled  by  default) adds dummy canary
       options to the build flags, so that the build logs can be checked
       for how the build flags propagate and to allow finding any omission
       of normal build flag settings.  The only currently supported
       flags are CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, OBJCFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and OBJCXXFLAGS with
       flags set to -D__DEB_CANARY_flag_random-id__, and LDFLAGS set
       to -Wl,-z,deb-canary-random-id.
__snip__

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 man dpkg-buildflags
__snip__
	canary Diese  Einstellung  (standardmäßig  deaktiviert)  fügt 
	Pseudo-Kanarienvögel-Optionen  zu  den  Bauschaltern  hinzu, 
	so  dass die Bauprotokolle überprüft werden können, wie die
	Bauschalter sich fortpflanzen. Dies erlaubt, Auslassungen in den
	normalen Bauschaltereinstellungen zu finden. Derzeit werden nur
	die Schalter CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS,  OBJCFLAGS,  CXXFLAGS  und 
	OBJCXXFLAGS  unterstützt,  wobei  die  Schalter  auf
	-D__DEB_CANARY_Schalter_Zufallskennung__  gesetzt  werden,
	und  LDFLAGS,  das  auf -Wl,-z,deb-canary-Zufallskennung gesetzt wird.
__snip__

Not too sure, if we should fix this or just keep it as an easter egg :).

From https://www.oocities.org/spunk1111/birds.htm#canary:

                 .-"-.

                //   \\
               ((     ))
         =======""===""=======

Cheers,
  Stefan.
