i'd like the relatestrings[] from dselect/pkgdisplay.cc contain %s
for better translations:

currently they are
*const relatestrings[]= { N_("suggests"),
                          N_("recommends"),
                          N_("depends on"),
                          N_("pre-depends on"),
                          N_("conflicts with"),
                          N_("provides"),
                          N_("replaces"),
                          N_("enhances"),
                          0 },

which causes a bad translation in german:
"task-kde suggests kfract"
can only be translated with
"task-kde schlägt vor kfract"
but the best translation would be
"task-kde schlägt kfract vor"

This could be solved by modifing the string to
"%s suggests %s" or thelike.

Thanks,
