** Description changed: [Impact] The version of dh_translations, which was present when gnome-characters was last uploaded, resulted in a .desktop file with the wrong gettext domain, so the name of the application in e.g. the Activities overview is always shown in English. Meson support has been added to dh_translations since, so a no-change rebuild is sufficient to fix the issue. + + We can drop the dh_translations overrides since dh_translations + correctly handles meson in this case.

The gnome-characters source package should apparently be cleaned up, but I think that dh_translations should also be changed to not accept a domain starting with '$'.
