Templates and PO files are merged by po2debconf.  This script parses
debian/po/*.po files, and then reads the file given as argument.
This file is supposed to be a master templates file in the new format,
i.e. lines in the form
  Field: value
are kept unchanged and
  _Field: value
lines are processed to display original and l10n'ed fields.
No checks are performed on this file and on its name, it could also
be stdin in a future version.

Passing the right file to po2debconf is done automagically by
dh_installdebconf.
