The apt source package only contains the apt-all.po files.

It look like durring the build time from apt-all, the build script creates 3 new templates:
apt.pot
libapt-pkg4.8.pot
libapt-inst1.1.pot

In Launchpad translations I have approved all 4 templates:
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/apt

I also did the transition from libapt-pkg4.7.pot (used in previous Ubuntu release) to libapt-pkg4.8.pot.

To avoid duplicate work and keep things in sync with upstream translation, Ubuntu translators shoul only translate the apt-all.po files and the manualy approve the required suggestions in the other 3 templates.

I think we should inform Ubuntu translators about this procedure and also modify the templates description.

Michael Vogt, do you have any advice how we should best handle the apt translations in Ubuntu to make it easy for both Ubuntu translators but also for sending transltations upstream.
