Native Package Description Support

Registered by Carlos Perelló Marín

Working on the translations of package descriptions is difficult and rather discouraging because auf the vast amount of translatable strings. All the package description for a repository component (main, restricted, etc) are currently bundled in one translation template. So each of these templates can easily have tens of thousands of translatable strings.

The goal is to split up the package descriptions into one template per source package and associate this template with the package. These templates should be flagged for what they are so that they can be extracted easily for deployment.

This seams like a good idea, how come it was marked as obsolete, the premise still seams to be true.
