I totally agree with you.
1. All Package One file -> User Friendly
2. One Laguage One file -> Manitainer Friendly

We take second way.  Because it is maintainer friendly.

It would be better to implement the i18n mechanism inside dpkg in
future, but I am now talking with the "as-is" implementation of our
chdesc.

It totally works fine with present framework of dpkg, I think it would
be good start point to i18n.
