I noticed that in many languages, countrychooser's menu item is displayed as a blank line. This includes Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Russian, Norwegian. Some investigation revealed that this is because mktemplates was is not set -e, so when debconf-updatepo failed, it continues and built a broken package. debconf-updatepo failed like this:
xgettext: Non-ASCII string at ../templates.tmp:3.
Please specify the source encoding through --from-code.
WARNING: It seems that none of the files in POTFILES.in contain marked strings
This is because /usr/share/iso-codes/iso_3166.tab has added to it the Aland
islands, excpet the A is spelled Å. I have put in a nasty hack to deal with
this so we can get a working version of the package again, but I wonder if
that file should include non-ascii strings?
Also, one last problem -- I noticed that even with these fixes, the generated
templates file has blank lines for the nl translations.
