It looks better, but debconf-updatepo still says:

it.po:38:2: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:38:45: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:39:64: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:53:18: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:72:29: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:74:47: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:74:51: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:113:11: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:115:21: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:127:62: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:128:6: invalid multibyte sequence
it.po:129:28: invalid multibyte sequence
msgmerge: found 12 fatal errors

which I've not seen before. It turned out that it even though it declared
a charset of UTF-8 it was encoded in ISO-8859-1, so I converted that
and now it's pending in git.

Thanks!
Dominic.
