Some good resources:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/tutorial/arch.html
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2003-09/msg00034.html
(that last one is an IRC conversation between Colin Walters and a
newbie, it's a *great* arch intro)
Once you're up and running, you can grab the dpkg sources with:
tla register-archive http://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/arch/personal/
tla get [EMAIL PROTECTED]/dpkg--devo--1.10 dpkg
I'll be glad to give you any help you need getting arch running (the
learning climb is a little steep, but the view from the top is well
worth it) and getting going on your own dpkg branch.

Well, if you're willing to go over the translation updates, "own" them,
nag people to get the existing ones up to date and add missing languages
