Comment 6 for bug 1751820

with this, I removed the dh_translations override from ubuntu-settings, and:

   dh_translations
 check_buildsystem: got domain 'ubuntu-default-launchers', using intltool: 0
 /usr/bin/ninja -C /home/laney/temp/ubuntu-settings-18.04.2/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu ubuntu-default-launchers-pot

laney@raleigh> cat debian/ubuntu-settings/usr/share/ubuntu/applications/gnome-initial-setup.desktop

laney@raleigh> ls po/ubuntu-default-launchers.pot
po/ubuntu-default-launchers.pot

but I guess the main thing to check is that it's not going to break random other packages.
