Confused. We edit the POT file to create a .po file (only changes are headers). Then we input translations. Normally, in a gettext .po file, you input translator comments as well, in the .po file. Are you saying not to do that?Yes. For debconf stuff, this is not the way to proceed, from the package maintainer point of view.
Doesn't this defeat a good deal of the purpose of gettext? The .po file, the portable object, is supposed to carry the information, and to be configurable in transit. gettext makes it possible for translators to input comments as they work.
Where are we supposed to put our comments (not developer comments, translator comments to each other)?
