Re: debconf PO translations for the package ion3

Yep. Don't ask. Also don't read the various links that lead to the
upstream author's braindead views on how free software development and
cooperation should happen.

Basically, the crappy license of this product is:

-the product should not be called "ion" if patched

-the product should not be called "ion" if not shipping the latest
stable release of the software without giving prominent warnings to
users that it is not supported by the Upstream Author (capitals are
intentional).


All this is, imho, braindead. This indeed explains why ion3 is now
non-free. I should have spent much much less time on this package,
indeed.
