Bug description:
Binary package hint: tuxpaint

Running tuxpaint --lang finnish did not show any Finnish messages. The package file downloaded from the Ubuntu repository seems to be missing localization files, since the following command yields no output:

ar p /var/cache/apt/archives/tuxpaint-data_1%3a0.9.20-2ubuntu1_all.deb data.tar.gz | tar tzv | grep share/locale

I recompiled the tuxpaint source package myself, and the resulting deb file does include localization files:

ar p tuxpaint-data_0.9.20-2ubuntu1_all.deb data.tar.gz | tar tzv | grep share/locale
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2010-01-06 19:07 ./usr/share/locale/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2010-01-06 19:07 ./usr/share/locale/ve/

-rw-r--r-- root/root     11332 2010-01-06 19:07 ./usr/share/locale/ve/LC_MESSAGES/tuxpaint.mo
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2010-01-06 19:07 ./usr/share/locale/rw/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2010-01-06 19:07 ./usr/share/locale/rw/LC_MESSAGES/
-rw-r--r-- root/root      1201 2010-01-06 19:07 ./usr/share/locale/rw/LC_MESSAGES/tuxpaint.mo
(etc)

Installing thisself-compiled  package makes the Finnish messages appear when I run tuxpaint --lang finnish. (Then tuxpaint also hangs on quitting, but that is likely an unrelated problem.)
