Well, what i'm wondering is where has gone the file README.i18n from
aptitude's sources. It was pretty illustrating:
++
* key translations
Where it makes sense, aptitude allows the default keybinding
assigned to a command to be translated. This is done by creating
a dummy translated string ending in "_key"; the first character of
the string is the default binding of the key. For instance, the
string "yes_key" is used to set the default binding for buttons
labelled "Yes". To bind "j" to this command, you could translate
"yes_key" to "ja_key", "ja", or even just "j".

I think we have "rpmatch" in the GNU C library, but i was also not
successful trying to make it work :(
