Including separately distributed translations in deb



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi mentors,

I'm the maintainer of eric (eric.sourceforge.net). Upstream distributes the
translations of eric (de, ru, fr) separately from eric, and up to now I've
included the compiled message catalogs (qm, eric is a PyQt program) into a
regenerated orig.tar.gz. Since they are binary files, it's not possible to
include them into the Debian diff.
However, I could include the textual translation files (the po's, so to say)
into the diff.gz and compile them when the package is built. Which solution is
better? In the first, the orig.tar.gz is not "original", in the second the
diff.gz get quite big (the uncompressed message catalogs are ~700kiB each).

best regards

Torsten
