Even if reprirotisin is sensible, at least we can talk about that and
see what other think about it.

There is enough space in Rosetta... I don't think we should worry about long names.

In the Ubuntu templates listing from Rosetta, you can not see the source
package, unless you access the template.

Translators will see "add-applications" followed by another link with
the same name, and only ofter accessing each link they could tell if the
first "add-applications" link is for Ubuntu or for Kubuntu.

page content.

It may be a Launchpad problem, but we all know that Rosetta team is very
busy. For now, I prefer to see how we can work around Rosetta's
limitations.

Before continuing I think we should hear some thoughts from Kubuntu,
Xubuntu and Edubuntu docs maintainers to confirm if this problem is
valid or not.
