Every typo fix or spelling/grammar fix creates a fuzzy message in all 
docmessage files with a translation of this message.

See above, as a change of one char in the docbook generates fuzzies in about  
20-40 translations, i won't backport a doc only with typos/spelling/grammar 
fixes.

In the docs I have commited to trunk and want to backport you will find also 
markup, EBN and  typos/spelling/grammar fixes, but only together with changes 
in content.

See the attachment, a diff between kmix in stable (before a backport) and 
trunk postprocessed with grep -v "#".

But it would be a much better solution if scripty could use a msgmerge from 
gettext 0.16.1 with the "--previous" option.
I just try to backport gettext 0.16.1 to my dapper and edgy systems to see if 
it works as expected.

Whom to ask for scripty's machine and distribution, and if it is possible to 
install a backported gettext?
