Bug Description
[Impact]
The version of dh_translations, which was present when gnome-characters was last uploaded, resulted in a .desktop file with the wrong gettext domain, so the name of the application in e.g. the Activities overview is always shown in English.
Meson support has been added to dh_translations since, so a no-change rebuild is sufficient to fix the issue.
We can drop the dh_translations overrides since dh_translations correctly handles meson in this case.
Also, we are updating gnome-characters to 3.28.2

[Test Case]
On a system with some other language but English:
* Install the gnome-characters .deb package (Note that in a new 18.04 LTS install, the Snap is installed instead of the .deb.)
-> find that its name is "Characters".
* Install the rebuilt version of gnome-characters
* Relogin
-> find that its name is the translation of "Characters"
[Regression Potential]
There is a micro-release exception for GNOME:

dh_translations is confused by files in the source package belonging to the old build system. configure.ac contains this line:
GETTEXT_
and dh_translations happily uses it to do its things.
The gnome-characters source package should apparently be cleaned up, but I think that dh_translations should also be changed to not accept a domain starting with '$'.

A no-change rebuild in bionic of gnome-characters should fix this, since the package was last uploaded before meson support had been added to dh_translations.
