Hi;
I noticed some manual translators unnecessarily put copies of the
original figures in their translations. E.g. for aisleriot for the
"es" and "ca" translations:
$ cd ailseriot/help
$ sha1sum */figures/*png | sort
109d2c52d1b68a7a18d3b194dcbb218f7456278c ca/figures/clock-rules.png
109d2c52d1b68a7a18d3b194dcbb218f7456278c C/figures/clock-rules.png
109d2c52d1b68a7a18d3b194dcbb218f7456278c es/figures/clock-rules.png

1f3f8f14393f3c332cb6635dd0ff4806f2fcf777 C/figures/camelot-goal.png

Since gnome-doc-utils will automatically *symlink* nonexistent figures
to the C figures when building the translated manuals, this is just a
waste of disk space in the packages.
I will soon check for this and remove these cases from all modules I
maintain.
Maybe damned-lies should check for this problem and warn about it?
Regards,
Christian
