 * '''Launchpad Entry''': https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/pkgstriptranslations-build-hook
 * '''Created''': 2005-10-25 by MartinPitt
 * '''Contributors''': MartinPitt, AdamConrad
 * '''Packages affected''': pkgstriptranslations, debhelper

== Summary ==

Currently `dh_builddeb` is patched to call `pkgstriptranslations` before building a deb. This should be replaced with a less intrusive and more generic hook.

== Rationale ==

Joey Hess does not like modifying debhelper for these purposes. In addition, there are packages which provide translations, but do not use debhelper (e. g. `gnupg`).

== Use cases ==

== Scope ==

== Design ==

 * Remove the `debhelper` change.
 * Divert `dpkg-deb` in `pkgstriptranslations`: This should call `pkgstriptranslations` and then call the original `dpkg-deb`.

== Implementation ==

=== Code ===

=== Data preservation and migration ===

== Outstanding issues ==

== BoF agenda and discussion ==
