I think you got the point. Just made some tests and looks like simply patch the .po file is indeed not enough. It seems that the translation toolchain in GNU projects is more complicated than I thought. The current tarball in Debian source is the released version from upstream (perhaps generated by "make dist"). If we need to patch the translation files, a repack that involves downloading po files from TP website as well as updating .gmo files seems necessary. Thanks for raising this issue and I'm looking forward to a properly- patched new diffutils upload. Regards, Boyuan Yang
