I don't use locales, so I can't do a proper test.  Apparently the fix works, 
but I can't get checkinstall to appear translated here :s. Using gettext 
directly does show fixed messages, but checkinstall won't translate anything 
here. A 2 line fix makes checkinstall translate everything, so I wonder why 
it does translate on your system (it shouldn't, since the strings passed to 
gettext aren't the same ones that appear on the po files).
