I had filed a bug in the Debian BTS and also upstream:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=484721
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537352

intltool upstream doesn't seem to agree that this is a major annoyance.
I proposed a more smooth upgrade path in the bug report, but upstream
is apparently not interested.


Cheers,
Michael
