Am I wrong This is true for Ubuntu, which does not send upstream its *package* translations because upstream does this better - but Ubuntu doesn't work on these packages, although they appear in Launchpad translation (this is kin of a bug).
But Launchpad is designed to be the main hosting for whole projects (like Inkscape does now), and then translations go "upstream" because upstream is on Launchpad. I guess there's a mechanism to get .po files from Launchpad and use it in our packaging (at least manually, and maybe automatically with a svn access too). Christian: I've had some trouble with the current translation project in the past, because nobody on the French list would answer me about marking the French translation as "in progress" while I was working on it. And that system is really hard to handle for translators, all their technical stuff is a little frightening even for me. But obviously, using two systems will result in synchronisation issues. Maybe we can hope they will make it easier. GNUnet at the moment is not a main package so main translators don't seem to give it a high priority - which more occasional translators and users would maybe. I'll check about the icons script, but there should be no issues if the icons were installed correctly to /usr/share/icons/XXX.
