unfortunatly there is no real solution inside amavisd. Just the l10n snippet
from debian. Marc added several templates over the last years but he didn't
updated that l10n snippet so not every of the template can be accessed via
the l10n version.

So it seems I have to deal with that patch, update it and give marc a patch.
