Hi,
This bug (354938) is clearly about the 64k limit on package names
and versions, without reference to translated descriptions. Many
of the duplicates of 400768 (including 400768 itself) were
originally reporting the name or version limit rather than the
translation limit.
400768 is now an RC bug to either
a) raise the limit
b) reduce the number of translations that count against the limit
and is being solved by option B.
I suggest 354938 be left unmerged as a wishlist to raise the 64k
limit. A patch to do this for apt-0.7.14 is attached to
