Yes, yesterday I see the out-of-date files too. The problem ist a
broken cronjob on ddtp.debian.net. sorry
I will check and fix this.

I don't work on apt and co. This work is based on otavio's work.
But the running ddtp-server is my work. But only for the next months.
We like to switch the ddtp as part of the new i18n-framework.

dito. The server don't know all the special commands from the old
ddtp-server yet. sorry. No 'help', no 'admin', no 'review' etc.
But I like to add some of them. But we should concentrate on the work

yes. But all the ideas about the DDTP during DebConf6, are ideas about
the new i18n framework.
I hope we can test the new apt version and can get this version to sid
and after some days to testing.
