Comment 2 for bug 549106

I've just discovered what's happening.

The source package contains an old .pot file from 2007, and this template is being picked up by Launchpad on upload. In principle, .pot files should not be shipped in source packages, as they are files which are constantly regenerated, but updating it in debian/rules does the trick as well.

I'm attaching a patch that does that: generate the .pot file at package build time. I'm not a packager, so it can probably be improved :)
