Chris,

as .desktop files must be in UTF-8 encoding, why do you specify that
"localestring" entries must be UTF-8 encoded?

Also I would like an extra tag, say X-Debian-LozalizedFields, which should
contain the exact list of translatable entries when either
  a) a "localestring" entry must not be translated
  b) or another entry has to be translated
