As I understand, I should now yell out "Hurray", learning that we
probably will soon be able to be prompted in something else than the
English language...AND be able to not be interrupted by the famous
linux-image/kernel-image packages question.
Do you plan to first post a call for translations in -i18n so that
when you release the new kernel-package packages, they already have
some translations handy?
Of course, I'm here assuming that the package is properly i18n'ed as
I'm sure it is..:-)
I'll probably add kernel-package to the current quite short list of
"level 5" translations proposed to D-I translators, which mostly lists
packages which are considered very important to translate (completely
empirically).
