I don't exactly understand your point there....you mean gdm templates? I guess they're available just like other po-debconf templates from: http://people.debian.org/~barbier/intl/l10n/po-debconf/ By the way, these *dm templates are "common" templates, IIRC. Such common templates are currently not handled very efficiently as they are in all packages which uses them instead of being separate so that they're translated only once. Among the dozens ideas I have without time for making them real, a "debconf-common-templates" package exists: -nothing in it except debconf templates -includes all "common" templates used by several packages such as "Database serveur host", "Database name", "Database user"....used by gazillions of *sql-based packages Packages which want to use these templates would then only need to "register" them with debconf This would save a lot of translation time, for sure....and this would also help in getting consistency among packages. I deeply hope I will have something ready before debconf so that I may include somehting about this in my talk there.
