Bug#657557: Fix for #657557

*** DISCLAIMER:
***   I don't run a whole instance, I only played with a few
***   languages and a few suites, checking I could perform
***   packages → long descriptions (and translations) lookups
***   again once the patches applied, and run-parts done.

Tiny walkthrough for those patches against debian-master:

[PATCH 1/4] Download English translations files.
 → Already applied on the Debian instance according to Rhonda.

[PATCH 2/4] Add support for long descriptions in suites above squeeze.
 → Restores long descriptions, but there's a translation→package
   dependency (when translations are updated) which disappears with
   the next two patches.

[PATCH 3/4] Add support for --english-only to parse-translations.
[PATCH 4/4] Extract English translations before processing packages.
 → I think the commit messages really say what they do: making
   processing works fine at once.


If troubles arise from applying those patches, I could be tricked
into helping to fix it up.

Mraw,
KiBi.
