LOCALIZED TEMPLATE FILES
       Debconf also supports localized template files, and this program has
       some support to aid working with them. You may find it easiest to
       keep the translations in separate files, and merge them only at
       build time. See debconf-mergetemplate(1) and debconf-getlang(1) for
       details.

       This program will automatically call debconf-mergetemplate and merge
       templates on the fly if it finds your template files are accompanied
       by translated files that have the same name as the template file,
       with a dot and a locale name repended.

       For example, if you have a German translation, debian/package.tem­
       plates.de is merged with debian/package.templates.
