Actually it looks like the same (or very similar) strings were used in
Etch aptitude.

After asking on #debian-release:
17:35 < dato> well, I think enrico was working on libept/arm

If the fix doesn't manage to migrate to testing maybe it'd be possible
to push it via testing-proposed-updates... it's quite trivial patch and
quite serious for Polish users... But of course it's not RC, so I'm not
sure, whether it'll be accepted.

especially if You can't speak Polish ;-)

Could you upload my version? It has strings with Polish quotes
(,,blah''). Gzipped to not mess with text encoding.
