(debian-l10n-spanish: Can you help out? I don't know gettext good enough to
debug this problem.)

extract from the translation file es.po:

#: ../adduser:337 ../adduser:582
#, fuzzy, perl-format
msgid "Adding user `%s' to group `%s' ...\n"
msgstr "Añadiendo al usuario %s al grupo %s...\n"

#: ../deluser:401
#, fuzzy, perl-format
msgid "Removing user `%s' from group `%s' ...\n"
msgstr "Sacando al usuario %s del grupo %s...\n"

It looks for me that the es.po file contains translated strings. I don't
know why gettext mixes up translated an un-translated text.
