** 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.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ On a system with some other language but English:
+ 
+ * Install the gnome-characters .deb package
+ 
+ -> find that its name is "Characters".
+ 
+ * Install the rebuilt version of gnome-characters
+ 
+ * Relogin
+ 
+ -> find that its name is the translation of "Characters"
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ None.
+ 
+ [Original description]
+ 
  $ tail -n1 /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Characters.desktop
  X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=$PACKAGE_NAME
  
  dh_translations is confused by files in the source package belonging to
  the old build system. configure.ac contains this line:
  
  GETTEXT_PACKAGE=$PACKAGE_NAME
  
  and dh_translations happily uses it to do its things.
  
  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 '$'.
