Title:
  ubuntu patch 03_branding negatively effects localizations

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “aptitude” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The ubuntu patch 03_branding changes various mentions of “Debian” to
  “Ubuntu.” This does not work well with translations.

  This patch has a negative effect on localization of aptitude in
  Ubuntu.

  The file section-descriptions is patched such that the description for
  section “base” begins “The Ubuntu base system…” however the
  translations for this are pulled from the files aptitude-
  defaults.$LANG and the patch does not also update those.  Viewed in
  French, for example, the interface shows “Le système de base Debian…”

  Elsewhere, the patch changes strings used as gettext msgid's without
  updating the po files or translations contained therein.  Consequently
  there are a few places in the UI where the patch has broken the
  translations.

  Of course, it is considered somewhat bad form to do a simple string
  replace on translations because there can be subtleties which make the
  result incorrect.

  In the next development cycle we will be considering the options
  upstream and may remove direct references to Debian to avoid the
  issue.
