Bug#261086: This bug (switch to po-debconf for gdm) should be fixed, really

[Christian Perrier]

I beg to strongly disagree with Martin=A0: this bug should be fixed. The
consequence of not fixing it is actually that noone cares about
translating the templates for this package, which is quite widely
used.

Of course, gdm uses the same templates than xdm and, indeed, the way
such things are currently handled is not very appropriate (common
templates should go in specific "templates-only" packages). But,
having gettext'ed templates would cvertainly strongly improve the
quality of gdm translation for templates.

I hereby propose that the switch to po-debconf happens and to pick up
PO files in the xdm package.

Ryan, if you agree, I can work on a patch doing this as an enhancement
of th originally sent patch
