While I'm leaning toward just putting the code in debhelper,
I am worried about another issue in the patch. It makes
update-catalog be called only on new install, not upgrade ([-z "$2"]).
But then, if a catalog is added to an existing package,
update-catalog will not be run. There is a new preinst that
runs update-catalog on upgrade, but only during the transition
to conffiles, so it does not close this hole.
