Bug Description

Binary package hint: ekiga

Ekiga uses language packs, which include the translations of its .desktop file. These are imported into Launchpad and then exported.

Normally, before they are imported, they are stripped from the source .desktop file, which is then shipped with no translations, which will actually be loaded from the .mo files in the language packs (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Internationalisation/Packaging#Desktop Entries).

However, the ekiga.desktop file is shipped with full translations, which override those in the language packs. In order for them to be stripped, the X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain must be added to the ekiga.desktop file.

Attached is a patch which adds this key and can be dropped directly in debian/patches.

Adding the scim task, as

/usr/share/applications/scim-setup.desktop

also contains full translations.

With Ekiga being in universe since Lucid, is this bug relevant anymore?
