Cant you have mutliple descriptions for the same package with
different md5sums in the translation file?
Yes there are such cases. If an arch is unable to catch up (for whatever
reason) and the description has changed inbetween the versions you end
up with different description translations (belonging to different package
versions). This does not happen in stable (by definition), is very seldom
in testing and happens approximately 50 times in unstable (I can give
real numbers if you are interested and the numbers heavily depend on how
good translators catch up).
Kind regards
Andreas.
