Comment (by boklm):

 Replying to [comment:17 mcs]:
 > I tested the tools/dmg2mar program and it seems to work as intended. But
 note that LC_ALL=C should be set before running dmg2mar. This will ensure
 that that make_full_update.sh creates mar files where the add
 instructions, etc. are in the same order as in the original mar files. It
 may also be possible to modify dmg2mar to set LC_ALL=C before exec'ing
 make_full_update.sh.

 Good point. I pushed a new branch `bug_19410-v3` where we set LC_ALL=C:

 bundle.git/commit/?h=bug_19410-v3

 sure what we can do about it.

 Yes, it is inconvenient. But I don't know any other tool available in
 Debian that can extract dmg files. Maybe we can help getting a backports
 package available in Debian to make installation easier (following the
 guidelines in https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/).
