Comment 1 for bug 917682

From what I can see on a quick review is that:
 - the .pot file magic is not run in the Debian package
 - and a few files are installed differently:

daniel@daydream:~$ debdiff byobu_5.3-*deb pbuilder/precise_result/byobu_5.3*deb
[The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have
different names, permissions or owners.]

Files in second .deb but not in first
-------------------------------------
-rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/byobu/keybindings/common
-rwxr-xr-x root/root /etc/profile.d/Z97-byobu.sh

Files in first .deb but not in second
-------------------------------------
-rw-r--r-- root/root /etc/profile.d/Z97-byobu.sh
-rw-r--r-- root/root /usr/share/lintian/overrides/byobu
