Doh, that's true. I haven't tested the `make dist` ...

multi-po is discouraged by GNOME l10n guidelines. And it's a mess to
manage in a proper way.

We can:
     A. add a 'tracker-data' package that could pack MO files and maybe
        in future stuff like icons, GConf schema files, glade files, gtk
        + XML menu definition files... (see nautilus-data in Ubuntu)
     B. put MO files in 'tracker' package (needed by 'tracker-utils' and
        'tracker-gnome-search-tool'
