Christian, is this the way Debian has decided to do things or is this
your preferred way with backend magic to regenerate the various files ?
The reason I ask (and I'm sure the translators would agree with this)
is that we in the past had preferred to have multiple smaller files
compared to ONE big one.  With multiple files multiple people can work
on them simultaneously without fear of conflict where-as with a single
file, well that is much much harder.

In short, if possible we'd have preferred to stay with multiple smaller
files and I'm wondering if that is still an option.

Regards,
