[Debian-l10n-devel] Weirdness on stats pages

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Nicolas François (nicolas.francois at centraliens.net):

> The point is that 9695 is the total of strings from POT files.

Well, at least we could get a list of offending packages. I suppose
that these should run debconf-updatepo in their clean target...

Yes, solution to explore if possible.....
