Yes.

So just a few notes. The Pootle server runs with user/group set to pootle/pootle (but on a high port) The POs are in /var/lib/pootle (pootle:pootle) (should be readable/writable by the Pootle server; readable by the Pootle group is also interesting to allow some people to grab the POs without going through the web interface) The HTML and templates in /usr/share/pootle The preference files in /etc/pootle (pootle:root) (be sure users.prefs is writable by the Pootle server and not readable by everybody) I provided a manpage, which is basically the same as PootleServer --help with groff formatting. The most interesting files are probably: debian/rules (it should not be that far from an ebuild), debian/pootle.init (the init script) and debian/README.Debian (documentation on what has to be done to enable the Pootle server on a Debian installation). I've not tried using .mo. If possible, I will prefer this way of distributing the Pootle translations (to avoid having people translating Pootle not on the main Pootle server).
