Anything is inferior to darcs regarting to merging capability.

I like darcs a lot but would be good to you check the current
alternatives. The ones that I know are:

 - git / cogito
 - bzr (bazaar-ng)
 - darcs
 - svn / svk

Personally I prefer bzr, git or darcs. 

There's an interesting read in

http://debian.feedjack.org/user/294/tag/darcs/

Please read and we discuss it later.

It's how d-i uses parted and might be a start code to check.

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/d-i/trunk/packages/partman/partman-base/parted_server.c?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

po4a is the way I found to allow people to translate the manpages and
gettext cannot do that.
