:-( Seems like I understood you wrong when last time you said that debconf
is broken with i18n. I thought that meant you couldn't use
liblocale-gettext-perl with debconf, but translated templates worked ok.
Anyway, on 11 July you said:

Is that still true after 46 days? Could that woody debconf be uploaded to
proposed-updates so that it can get into 2.2r1? The reason is basically the
same as for debiandoc-sgml (thanks, Adam :-) This would actually allow
full i18n of installation process.
If that is impossible for some reason (probably because the changes are too
huge), then just let me know, an I'll spend some time adding full
translations of the questions asked by base-config to the installation
manual.

PS: Maybe the answer to my question is obvious, but "Debian Developer's
Reference" says little about uploading packages to stable.
