I succeeded in building the package. So, I can fix the FTBFS as well
as l10n stuff (that first bringed me on the package) as well.
While building the package, I noticed a lintian warning about binary
packages not having "${misc:Depends} listed in their dependencies
while the package uses dh_ commands that might trigger extra
dependencies. That lintian warning is fairly recent and the fix is
trivial and does not hurt. Would you agree for me to fix this as well?
There are othere lintian warnings which could deserve some fixes as
well but I first wanted to get your input about this one. It is
generally discouraged to do such fixes in NMU's, particularly when the
maintainer is unresponsive...but, here you *are* responsive..:-)
Another item is the debhelper compatibility level (debian/compat). I
think it could safely be raised to 7 (with a few side adaptations such
as Build-Depends on "debhelper > 7") which is the common practice
nowadays.
