I just found the reason of that issue -> look at latest line in /etc/kde3/klipperrc. In the source the file is called klipperrc.desktop because it contains phrases to be translated. The file is renamed klipperrc during the build. The Ubuntu build system is patched to add "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain..." at the end of desktop files (relative to rosetta). That results a crappy klipperrc file. debian/rules file is changed to remove that line during the file installation. I'm just testing the build and uploading the fixed package.
