 They have language-pack-xx package, it contains translation and overwrite 
 existing applications without updating them. It's Ubuntu specific package.
 So, Ubuntu users can see localized message but Debian users can't. It seems 
 to be useful for users, but I think this approach is a bit problematic, and 
 prefer to update upstream source or package itself.

Yeah, upstream would be best, but with the advent of policykit I think
the need for libgksu has been mostly covered by a better solution, so I
want to have gksu disappear in its current form ASAP. For wheezy I want
to have gksu-polkit take over to cover those remaining use cases that
did not migrate to policykit proper, though, and I plan to work on that.
But feel free to divert and update the package with the translation
meanwhile if you think it's worth it - I am sorry I neglected this patch
so much, but it may not be worth it anymore =(.

Cheers,

I don't see how Ubuntu is relevant here, tbh.
That said I don't see them shipping this patch either.

I'm not really the maintainer of libgksu. I just did some housekeeping
and keep the package building, ie. fix RC bugs only.

Looking at other l10n updates, kov did handle that via upstream releases
from what I can see, so I didn't want to divert from that.
That said, libgksu is ttbomk pretty much dead upstream so I don't know
how kov want's to deal with that.

kov?

Cheers,
Michael
