Given that the only instructions I had handy were: "The conversion is fairly difficult and some checks need to be done after some of the steps.
If you would like to switch, please contact Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>. "

.... I think it makes sense that I didn't do The Right Thing....and therefore, I would have appreciated that "Nonsense" is avoided (let's assume that the current context excuses it). Indeed, so far and unless my eyes are much worse that I was thinking, no documentation mentions that merge_xml should be used before create_po...

Certainly a good opportunity to update the documentation as it seems.

I'mm re-attempts another conversion tomorrow, probably (I'm currently connected by 14.4K dialup, so only reading mail).
