Well, I was wondering if this fuzzy (non-sense) message would be really 
shown if translators do not fix it before release. (Because I've felt 
guilty to add a new message in 9508e297 (after rc1!).

Also I wonder what is the right way to test the translations without 
installing util-linux. I've managed it like this, but looks bit 
complicated:

$ ./configure --disable-use-tty-group --prefix=/tmp/dest --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/tmp/dest/whatever
$ make install
$ export LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 
$ ./setarch blub
setarch: blub: Arquitectura no reconocida

BTW I think we are missing make dependencies. Editing a .po files and 
running make install again does not work.

Hmm ... I thought I would never spent one second of my life with these 
damn locales. Now I did it. Never say never. :)

Again, regarding make deps. make distdir seems to pull these updates. 
But make install seems to install the ones we have in git.
