The maintainer is aware of this and was supposed to fix this "after sarge release". Maybe it's time to bug him a little, yes....
I did report it as a bug, and here's my mail with the response I received (I appreciated him getting back to me so quickly about this :) ):
I wrote back thanking him, and said I wished I'd had to translate "experimental". :)Il giorno lun, 22/08/2005 alle 13.32 +0930, Clytie Siddall ha scritto:I would strongly recommend the maintainers of the zope packages investigate some way of using variables in their localization, so translators do _not_ have to translate files absolutely identical bar the headers, or absolutely identical bar the headers and the name of the program in the body text. It's a serious waste of our time, and can give rise to errors, since the task is so tedious, we lose our normal level of concentration.This has been already done, using a zope-common package actually in experimental.

Would someone with more experience (probably everyone :) ) please explain what his reply means, in practice? I don't know enough about the Debian packaging procedure to interpret his reply, apart from the fact that it seems to involve a package like dbconfig-common (_good_ idea!), and that something is happening...
