That's ungrammatical, by the way.

That's not necessarily a problem. However, I see in the manpage for
debconf-gettextize that it's mostly only needed for converting a
templates file into a format compatible with po-debconf. Are you
sure you need to do that? It seems unlikely if the templates have
already been reviewed by this list...

I suspect there's a parse error in stanza #1 of the templates file,
right at the top near that commented header line. That may
indicate that debconf-gettextize doesn't need to be invoked on this
file.

You might want debconf-updatepo; but then again I'm not sure you'd
be calling that by hand rather than letting the debian/rules file
have a make target that does it automatically.

You're welcome.

That might be a good idea. Make sure you tell them exactly what
you're attempting to do and with what files (from what package).
If you've modified the English text in the templates, you should
also definitely send the revised version to this list for review.
