Mmm.

There's probably no point putting it into the BTS.
Also, if it's just a diff between the current NMU and my tree, then
there's no point mailing it to me - my CVS can tell me that too.

Yes: the i18n stuff was added after the build system was, errm,
modified, and I need to learn how it works before putting it back in.
I think until I've done that we shouldn't try to make sense of the
diffs between my tree and the NMU tree, because (as you say) they're
full of mechanical i18n patches.
Perhaps we could run the whole thing through some seddery to take out
the _(...) around strings, and see if the answer comes out smaller.
But I hope to get the i18n done before this is necessary.
I think I probably won't release a version of my tree into unstable
without folding the i18n back in - certainly I won't if the existing
dpkg in unstable has working i18n. (ie, doesn't coredump any more)
Ian.
