Yes, I do:

  if (fprintf(stdout,
    _("Debian `%s' package management program version %s.\n"),
    DPKG, DPKG_VERSION_ARCH) < 0) werr("stdout");

If you don't trust a \n-terminated fprintf to do the right thing,
I suggest that you write your own version, rather than making the code
a hell to translate.

BTW: This is not the only place a fprintf is used in dpkg code. I wonder
if all the other ocurrences are "wrong" as well.
