I've fixed the whitespace in the templates, and manually unfuzzied all of
the translations.  (Augh, how I *hate* non-normalized .po files!)

As Russ mentions, there are other pending fixes in svn for this package that
should be included.  So if the Brazilian translation team provides an
update, please have them send it to the BTS.

Russ, when do you think you might have time to upload?  Working on 407746 on
libpam-ldap, I'd like to change the default URI from ldap://127.0.0.1/ to
ldapi:///, but I don't think it's not practical to do so if it's not going
to work with slapd out of the box.

(Hmm, should libldap2 get a reupload too, to harmonize its default socket
path with the one in openldap2.3 so clients aren't dependent on the compat
symlink?)

Cheers,
