This is just wrong... The name of the .po file has nothing to do with
users, only with translators. Only the location of the .mo file
is what matters to users.

You of all people should know that... :)

I will keep the bugs open since I indeed plan to change the naming
scheme if I ever change this package to a native one but reduce
the severity to minor since it has no effect on the usability of
the program.

Gruesse,
