 Yes, the "production" run also issues that error, as you can check in
the build logs here:
https://www-master.debian.org/build-logs/webwml/wml_run.log (if you go
to the directory index you might find other useful stuff to look at, if
you're curious ;))

 Looking into the file, line 554 reveals that there is a msgid "" line
missing, probably removed accidentally.

 You can add that yourself, or ask KÃ¥re to do it who is the danish
translation coordinator.

 Hope that helps,
Rhonda
