Package maintenance is teh suck

Ok, so Luc went on to have a holiday, a pleasant one I hope, and left me with some packages to manage. Well, it appears that what’s in the repository doesn’t exactly match what was last packaged so now I have the fun task to figure out how exactly they differ and which bits to keep from which one. meld probably comes in handy.

One annoying thing that changed was how po-files are handled. As I don’t otherwise maintain packages with user visible string I’m slightly out of touch with practical details (we do localisation quite a bit differently from GNOME for example.) Not to mention that process has been evolving and changing at least a couple of times in the, but who’s counting. And it also seems that make distcheck is failing. Well who really needs distcheck anyway, it’s worked so far… I think.
