It turns out they're not errors. In the attached file you can see that 
it's a configuration step when installing the package. (Nevermind the 
error at the end, that's caused by my attempts to figure out bug 309.)

I checked for kttsmgr.desktop myself and it really is in Hardy [1].

Regardless of whether you're seeing these symptoms, there are files in 
our repo that shouldn't be in there. We have an 
app-install-data-commercial directory [2] with the version from 
deltah-updates (9.5), but not the version from deltah (9).
