Ubuntu-Theme folder missing po-subdirectory

Why should files in the po directory be installed in the binary package? They are not needed there.

Otherwise 'make' would not succeed.

Succeed with what? Binary packages are not the things you compile
again...

To stop enthusiastic people from closing this bug before I'm ready, my intention is to remove the half-hearted attempt at source for the theme from the binary package. Please use 'apt-get source gfxboot-theme-ubuntu' if you want the source.

Ah, now it all makes sense, thanks :)

SuSE theme in gfxboot package includes all source subdirectories. If I understand correctly, both packages (gfxboot-theme-ubuntu and gfxboot) should include the "install" subdirectory only, because it contains binary translation files, help files and other things, which are missing now in gfxboot-theme-ubuntu.

As I wrote in my comment: it misses "install" directory, where all translation is compiled and some other targets are located.

This bug was fixed in the package gfxboot-theme-ubuntu - 0.5.2

---------------
gfxboot-theme-ubuntu (0.5.2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Ask for language before displaying the main menu (LP: #39888).
  * Filter out translations for various languages (Arabic, Dzongkha, Indic,
    Mongolian, Thai) that we cannot render properly for various reasons
    (LP: #46985, #56145).
  * Give checkbox semantics to the items in the F6 "Other Options" menu.
  * Add acpi=off, noapic, and nolapic options to the "Other Options" menu.
  * Display the "Other Options" menu for the live CD too, but without the
    d-i expert mode option.
  * Use theme background colour as the colour for dialog title bars and
    progress bars (LP: #28795).
  * Fetch foreground, background, and access-options from gfxboot.cfg in
    preference to isolinux.cfg. The gfxboot-foreground, gfxboot-background,
    and gfxboot-access-options keywords in isolinux.cfg are now deprecated
    and support for them will be removed after Ubuntu 8.04.
  * Include po/ in the binary package for consistency with gfxboot-theme-*,
    although you should generally just use bootlogo.tar.gz rather than
    building the theme afresh (LP: #39930).
