Having read that bug log, it's not clear to me whether there's a
consensus about what to do about these. Neil thinks we need native
endian .mo (which is problematic for multiarch), others think we need
.mo to be Arch: all and "dont-care"-endian. Has any consensus emerged?
And is it worth splitting out a -l10n or -data package from a library
just so the library itself can be M-A: same? (I suppose a side benefit
is you can use Recommends and cut down a little on the size of your
strict Dependency closure.)

So I guess we can ignore changelog.Debian.gz hits, as there's not much
we can do about them.
