18 !!DESCRIPTION

21 This program is useful if you have multiple debconf
22 templates files which you want to merge together into one
23 big file. All the specified files will be read in, merged,
24 and output to standard output.

27 This can be especially useful if you are dealing with
28 translated template files. In this case, you might have your
29 main template file, plus several other files provided by the
30 translators. These files will have translated fields in
31 them, and maybe the translators left in the english versions
32 of the fields they translated, for their
33 reference.
34
35
36 So, you want to merge together all the translated templates
37 files with your main templates file. Any fields that are
38 unique to the translated files need to be added in to the
39 correct templates, but any fields they have in common should
40 be superceded by the fields in the main file (which might be
41 more up-to-date).
42
43
44 This program handles that case properly, just list each of
45 the translated templates files, and then your main templates
46 file last.
