No, they are still there.

To be sure I downloaded 2.29.3.2-1, went into debian/po and looked
into templates.pot. If you go into line 30 you clearly see one of the
superflous spaces. 

Also this bug was filed *after* 2.26.3-3 was released, exactly because
the spaces were present.

To fix it, edit "evolution.templates" in debian/ and remove the
trailing spaces in lines 4, 5 and 6. Afterwards run debconf-updatepo.
Since now all translations are fuzzy, remove the fuzzy entries,
details can be found in
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#s6.5.2.3

I don't want to do any finger pointing. I just would like the German
translation to be used in it entirety, either by removing the fuzzy
entry (which is incorrect) or - better - by simply removing the
superflous space and unfuzzying all translations.

Greetings
