+separate files, and merge them only at build time. See
L<debconf-mergetemplate(1)> and L<debconf-getlang(1)> for details.

templates on the fly if it finds your template files are accompanied
by translated files that have the same name as the template file, with a
-dot and a locale name repended.

For example, if you have a German translation,
debian/package.templates.de is merged with debian/package.templates.
