The point is that with your debian/rules, your templates.pot gets updated
only during the build target. So the distributed version is out of sync.

I guess that their translation is not in sync with the original and will
then be discarded at build time or run time. Or, in the contrary, they
detected this discrepancy and run debconf-updatepo themselves.

The attached patch fix the issue by updating the templates.pot in the clean
target, so that the version distributed in the source matches the content of
the binary package.
