+# Description: Add translation domain to inkscape.desktop.in
+#  This is an Ubuntu-specific fix to allow translations to be stripped
+#  from the Desktop entry file and read from language packs instead.
+#  This is only needed for backports to Ubuntu Maverick and earlier.
+#  Later versions of Ubuntu handle this using dh_translations.
