Oops, right, (was a Typo)

Install it into the right directorys instead of using things like

----8<--------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/make -f

<snip>

PO_LANG = $(patsubst %.po,%,$(notdir $(wildcard po/*.po)))

gettext-get:
	xgettext --language=shell --add-location --foreign-user \
		 --copyright-holder="Michelle Konzack" \
		 --msgid-bugs-address="linux4michelle@freenet.de" \
		 --output po/tdcdautorun.pot tdcdautorun

gettext-merge:
	dh_testdir
	for CC in $(PO_LANG) ; do \
	  msgfmtm --update po/$$CC.po po/tdcdautorun.pot ; \
	done

clean:
	dh_testdir
	dh_clean
	rm -v -f po/*.mo po/*.~

build: $(PO_LANG)

$(PO_LANG):
	dh_testdir
	msgfmt -o po/$@.mo po/$@.po

install:
	dh_testdir
<snip>
	for CC in $(PO_LANG) ; do \
	  mkdir -v -p debian/tdcdautorun/usr/share/locale/$$CC/LC_MESSAGES ; \
	done

binary-indep: build install
	dh_testdir
<snip>
	for CC in $(PO_LANG) ; do \
	  mv -v -f po/$$CC.mo debian/tdcdautorun/usr/share/locale/$$CC/LC_MESSAGES/tdcdautorun.mo ; \
	done
<snip>

"dh_installmo" or "dh_installlocale" could simplify the installation
of the *.mo files and have additionaly better error handling.
