This is common practice in gettext-based translation work. Doing so
allows to keep the part that have been translated *and* avoid dropping
additional English parts.

I do not consider this a bug but a feature that helps in keeping alive
translation work even when nobody works on updating it.



Would I still be the package maintainer, I would consider closing the
bug report.
