Title:
  org.gnome.Characters.desktop untranslated

Status in gnome-characters package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gnome-characters source package in Bionic:
  In Progress
Status in pkgbinarymangler source package in Bionic:

Bug description:
  $ tail -n1 /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Characters.desktop
  X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=$PACKAGE_NAME

  dh_translations is confused by files in the source package belonging
  to the old build system. configure.ac contains this line:

  GETTEXT_PACKAGE=$PACKAGE_NAME

  and dh_translations happily uses it to do its things.

  The gnome-characters source package should apparently be cleaned up,
  but I think that dh_translations should also be changed to not accept
  a domain starting with '$'.
