Thanks for the fast reaction to that bug report. :-)  There seem to be a
few minor problems.

Since you are moving files between packages, libgdbm-l10n needs a
versioned Replaces on libgdbm4 to avoid file conflicts on upgrades.
Actually the same holds for libgdbm-dev, in 1.12-2 you moved files from
libgdbm4 to it.

The libgdbm-l10n package is "Architecture: all", but libgdbm4 has a
"Suggests: libgdbm-l10n (= ${binary:Version})".  If you want to specify
a version at all, it should be ${source:Version} instead.

The package description of libgdbm-l10n says "This package provides
translations for error messages, generated by library routines".  This
does not seem to be accurate, it also contains messages from gdbmtool.
That's why I suggested the package name gdbm-l10n in #828005.

Thanks for maintaining gdbm!

Cheers,
       Sven
