Bug Description

Binary package hint: pkgbinarymangler

The pkgstriptranslations script only strips translations of the Name, Comment and GenericName keys from Desktop Entry files. However, several packages in Ubuntu main, such as inkscape and transmission ship multiple translations of extension keys such as X-GNOME-FullName key.

Maybe we should consider stripping these keys too.

Current dh_translations does cover the X-GNOME-Fullname key already. The only other key that "grep -h X-GNOME /usr/share/applications/*| cut -f1 -d=|sort -u" finds is "X-GNOME-Keywords", but glib does not officially support this key, so we don't translate it via gettext. So I don't think we can strip it before that happens.
