Question concerning Package Description translation files

[Simon Kainz <simon@familiekainz.at>]

I am currently skimming through the translated Package descriptions
stored in e.g. Translation-en (taken form
http://ftp.tugraz.at/mirror/debian/dists/sid/main/i18n/Translation-en.bz2)
and noticed the following:

There seem to be some multiple entries for some packages e.g.

$ cat Translation-en |grep ^Package|sort|uniq -c|sort -n |tail -20
      2 Package: ttf-kannada-fonts
      2 Package: ttf-lao
      2 Package: ttf-malayalam-fonts
      2 Package: ttf-oriya-fonts
      2 Package: ttf-punjabi-fonts
      2 Package: ttf-tamil-fonts
      2 Package: ttf-telugu-fonts
      2 Package: winbind
      2 Package: wmrack
      2 Package: xmakemol
      2 Package: xmakemol-gl
      2 Package: zhcon
      3 Package: mrpt-apps
      4 Package: anjuta-extras
      4 Package: libxenomai1
     10 Package: gedit-plugins
     11 Package: eog-plugins
     14 Package: default-jdk
     14 Package: default-jre
     14 Package: default-jre-headless

Why is this? For sid i have for example the following entry in the
Packages file:

Package: anjuta-extras
Version: 3.4.0-1
Installed-Size: 7806
Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers
<pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: amd64
Replaces: anjuta (<< 2:2.28.0)
Depends: libanjuta-3-0 (>= 2:3.2.0), libc6 (>= 2.4), libcairo2 (>=

SHA256: cfd482b1ebfae08bae4d3306e589e47ecb4f72fdb53e3af8106f8bcef851021c


So this uses the Description based on the
Description-md5: 08719358bf19281d5f292abcac89a9d7, but there are still 3
more entries avail. I also see the md5 hashes are different, so the
description is different. But why are there 4 different entries in e.g.
anjuta-extras?

Maybe someone can point me to the right man/web-page ?
