Yes. Commit by replacing the debian/po/mg.po file

Checking it is also a good idea:

msgmerge -U debian/po/mg.po debian/po/templates.pot
msgfmt -o /dev/null -c --statistics debian/po/mg.po

See my small mini script named "po_test" attached. Very crappy, but efficient.

I've just added you because I'm very clever and guessed your Alioth
login is christine-guest..:-)

About quilt, there's the README.patches in debian/patches.

And, anyway, we have the quilt wizard around here (Martin). He'll be
delighted to answer any question and this will help him to wait for
the baby feed hours without having stupid ideas about his Debian
commitment..:-)

I absolutely do not care of speed. Seeing that you already figured out
a lot of things is much important to me.
