Here is the diff between 1.274 and 1.275 for the dansk:
 #: kdelibs/kimgio/eps.kimgio:1
-#, fuzzy
 msgid "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images"
-msgstr "Comment=Encapsulated Postscript billede"
+msgstr "Comment=Encapsulated Postscript billeder"

As you see, erik removed the fuzzy

Here the same for finish:
 #: kdelibs/kimgio/eps.kimgio:1
-#, fuzzy
 msgid "Name=Encapsulated Postscript Images"
-msgstr "Comment=Encapsulated Postscript -kuva"
+msgstr "Comment=Encapsulated Postscript -kuvat"

I could continue, but it wastes my time...

Yes, but it's the same every time, msgmerge adds a fuzzy and translators
don't look at the translation before removing the fuzzy
