I'll try to talk with pitti. It turns out that there is already an
open bug against sphinx about this. We're not the only ones running
into it. See bug 480913.

Temporarily, this might not be that big of a deal as we're only
releasing to the PPA. We can just provide our own build of sphinx that
won't be stripped.

Yep. Right now, this is only distributed a daily build and nothing is
particularly stable. We'll need to come up with a release process as
the project grows up either way.

Thanks for the feed back!

Title:
  Make Packaging Guide translatable

Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  With https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/issue/561/configuration-
  option-store-translations-in fixed in Sphinx 1.1 (which is in precise
  and which we could backport into our PPA), we could enable
  translations.

  One requirement we have is: one .pot file for the whole package as
  opposed to one .pot file per article. To do this we need to set
  gettext_compact and move all articles in one directory.
  (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/config.html#confval-gettext_compact)

  I prepared a couple of things in a branch at lp:~dholbach/ubuntu-
  packaging-guide/i18n which makes "make gettext" work, but
  unfortunately this will break paths for "make html", etc.

  Any help with this is appreciated, as I'm going to be too busy to
  finish the work in the next few weeks.
