The problem is that we are still using it in Debian stable and in order
to possibly get ext4 support in an update, we would need to get the patch
in to have the translations. Furthermore, we will probably still ship
gnome-vfs in the next release, as there are still many packages depending
on it.

I have also reported this in Debian[0] and it is also in GNOME's
bugzilla[1].
