Yes, man-db uses a rather old snapshot of gnulib. I'll be updating it to
a more current gnulib relatively soon. (The thread starting at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-03/msg00154.html is
part of me trying to do this.) I'm not worried about man-db's gnulib
translations being up to date just at the moment, but would like to make
sure that productive use is made of Kai's work.

Yeah, I'm not going to update man-db's gnulib translations directly,
since gnulib-tool would just overwrite those by rsync next time I run
it. Plus I'm not wild about forking bits of gnulib. :-)

Indeed, http://translationproject.org/POT-files/gnulib-1.1.pot is
looking a bit stale. Could somebody on bug-gnulib update the POT file
held by the TP, please?

Thanks,
