This po file was intended to let the user express overrides to the
translations provided by the system, in the same way than /etc/menu files
are a solution to let the user override the default settings. That's why I'm
not convinced of the non-config status of this file.

But forget about this file, JoeyH convinced me that this file is useless.

Err, I'm not sure I understand the difference between my rc file and bash's.
But never mind, I followed the debconf example and moved it to
/usr/share/po-sysv....

... which, in turn, is a bad location since it won't be mounted at the
beginning. Ok. I'll move it back to /etc (or /lib, if you insist very much).


Thanks for your time, Mt.
