Get extract-upstream-en_US-templates.pl (should be done) in sync with the
template in __DATA__ and sub read_l10n_templates($;$) from amavisd. All
templates should get extracted with useful names and amavisd should catch
them up in read_l10n_templates. If this is done create a patch a forward it
to the amavis mailinglist.
