Then this is quite a bad example. Files in */bin usually do not have
an extension (IIRC policy mandates that at least not extension for
indication of the scripting language be used), so I would be
suspicious if a file shipped something in /usr/bin with an extension.
Can't we take the common case for /etc-files (thats how I understood
the man page at least), so something like:
"To divert all copies of a I</etc/foo.conf> to I</etc/bar.conf>, i.e. directs "
"all packages providing /etc/foo.conf to install it as /etc/bar.conf,
"performing the rename if required:"
"dpkg-divert --divert /etc/bar.conf --rename /etc/foo.conf"

Almost:
<divert-to> is the location where the versions of <file>, as provided
by other packages, will be diverted to.
Do you supply me with an updated po file once you applied these
changes? Thanks.
