Package: po-debconf Version: 1.0.21+nmu1 Severity: normal Hi,
since the advent of machine readable copyright files, my inner monk has felt forced to pay more close attention to licensing of translations. Oh, what a mess. To make things easier for my translators, I put a nice header into debian/po/templates.pot, giving a meaningful copyright entry, stating explicitly that a translator might add herself there, and that it would be nice if the translation would be put under the same license like the package. Imagine my surprise when debconf-updatepo replaced my nice header with the usual blurb of SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE and Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER again. Can po-debconf in some way be convinced to leave the leading comments of a file alone when updating the contents? This might be a property of a different program since I had a program translation de-beautified the same way, but I don't enough about all this po-pot-translation business to correctly judge. Feel free to point me in the correct direction please. Greetings Marc
