Documentation explains only the most common set-up.  You can have
multiple PO templates, and I'd suggest the following structure for
tarballs you're going to upload:

  gschem/po/gschem.pot
  gschem/po/de.po
  gschem/po/fr.po
  ...
  libgeda/po/libgeda.pot
  libgeda/po/de.po
  libgeda/po/fr.po
  ...

However, if these are indeed separate packages, maybe each of them
should be a separate project, but that's up to you to decide.

If you need any help, find us in #launchpad on Freenode, or use
