That is certainly clean and nice approach but old furt like me are stack
with using vim to edit po files :-) Please do not forget us.

Well it is directly related to data generated and used by po4a.

This is not po-debconf specific.
This may be part of translate-toolkit if this can be integrated into it.
(but I think this is not something you ship as normal Debian command and
more appropriate as user script)
This is po4a specific and appropriate as example script for user.

If any of you have some vim MACRO or emacs mode script, that is
something as good to have in example. Having example script for
po4a like package is quite common and Debian Policy defines as follows:
Debian Policy: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s12.6
12.6 Examples
Any examples (configurations, source files, whatever), should be
installed in a directory /usr/share/doc/package/examples. These files
should not be referenced by any program: they're there for the benefit
of the system administrator and users as documentation only.
Architecture-specific example files should be installed in a directory
/usr/lib/package/examples with symbolic links to them from
/usr/share/doc/package/examples, or the latter directory itself may be a
symbolic link to the former.
If the purpose of a package is to provide examples, then the example
files may be installed into /usr/share/doc/package.
