Bug Description
As reported in bug 1019172, the given dpkg error message is only partly translated. The string "installed %s script" is translatable, yet the actual values for %s are both not translatable and unknown for translators without any comments.

This results in error messages such as "aliprosessi installed post-installation script palautti virhetilakoodin 255"
Furthermore, even if the values were translatable, the actual error message might be quite tricky for translators (in some languages) as it combines many strings and variables. I'd like to see more simplified error messages but I guess that's beyond the scope of this bug report.
