Can you give an example of a package with embedded tarball and debconf 
templates? Sorry... I'm not very familiar with such practices, but the 
isn't the tarball the upstream sources and the debian dir is still kept 
apart and in the diff?

I'm currently scanning this control file:

http://people.debian.org/~barbier/l10n/material/data/unstable.gz

To make the list I look for packages that have templates but no 
podebconf templates.

I made a small coordination site:

http://people.debian.org/~lwall/i18n/

There are still several packages that don't have a "please switch to 
po-deconf" bug. I guess we should start by sending these bugs...
