dpkg should get feature frozen this next week most probably (maybe a bit
later given that some other toolchain changes are still pending, but
we should not be counting on that anyway). So this sets a soft freeze
on the amount of strings that will be introduced in the future, as new
dpkg transitions to testing will need RM approval.

We can start a harder freeze few months before the release, where any
string change would need notification to the list and we could discuss
if it's important enough or something.

How does this sounds to you Christian, and the other translators?
