Thanks, you were right - I'm not subscribed to l18n.

Oh, I wasn't aware of that.  I always thank translators, but if you do
it for a distribution you don't even use, I do it even more heartily.

Testing or sid, it's just the same, or 

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-tex/tex-common/trunk/debian/po/templates.pot?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

I've been pestered by some translator of an other package who told us
that "translators usually use debconf-updatepo" and didn't like that
debian/templates was a generated file, so I assumed that translators
usually find it easier to get the source package.
