Does this integrate translations that go into XML files, GConf
schemas, and .desktop files (and other similar intltool-merged
stuff)? 

The simplest way would be to have all localisable content (eg. source
.xml.in, .schemas.in, .desktop.in, .server.in files) in this
language-pack, and msgunfmt all existing MO's (on the system,
basically /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/package.mo) for this
software, and re-merge them with intltool-merge.  This would imply
having intltool-merge installed as user/admin tool (part of the base
system), instead of only as build tool.

I'll dist-upgrade my Warty to Hoary before I comment any further. :)

Cheers,
Danilo
