I certainly agree with the former. There is no context in lintian
reports, so we really need to mention debconf somewhere, it would be
confusing otherwise (actually, I would even change the name of the tag
to something like "no-complete-debconf-translation").
Yeah, making it more explicit that we're dealing with debconf translations
and not, for instance, gettext, would be good.
I'm not so sure about the latter though. podebconf-report-po already
appears in the referenced section of the Developer's Reference. And if
needed, wouldn't it be more useful to include that particular example
in devref itself?
I'm ambivalent in terms of whether the description should mention
poddebconf-report-po directly, but also agree that it isn't really the right
place for the example.
Taking a middelish ground would give us:
Tag: no-complete-debconf-translation
Type: info
Info: Even though this package provides debconf translation support, there
are no translations or none of the translations are complete. This may
mean that translators weren't properly warned about new strings.
.
Translators may be notified of changes using podebconf-report-po.
