Maybe some kind of developer README would be useful in general? Having 
never looked at the i18n repo before there's multiple confusing things 
IMO (e.g. how do the compiled lang files from the built .deb get loaded? 
What does the 'update' target do to make it so important?).

Either way, I'm not sure a single comment in the Makefile is going to 
help that much - maybe at least put it somewhere at the top?
