Public bug reported:
The ubuntu patch 03_branding changes various mentions of “Debian” to
“Ubuntu.” This does not work well with translations.
This patch has a negative effect on localization of aptitude in Ubuntu.
The file section-descriptions is patched such that the description for
section “base” begins “The Ubuntu base system…” however the translations
for this are pulled from the files aptitude-defaults.$LANG and the patch
does not also update those. Viewed in French, for example, the
interface shows “Le système de base Debian…”
Elsewhere, the patch changes strings used as gettext msgid's without
updating the po files or translations contained therein. Consequently
there are a few places in the UI where the patch has broken the
translations.
Of course, it is considered somewhat bad form to do a simple string
replace on translations because there can be subtleties which make the
result incorrect.
In the next development cycle we will be considering the options
upstream and may remove direct references to Debian to avoid the issue.
