That is correct. The apt with package descriptions translation suport
requires a ABI change and therefore a rebuild of all rdependencies of
libapt. Not a big issue, but something that needs to be discussed with
the release team. My current approach with the apt in unstable is to
keep it mostly bug-fixes only to avoid disrupting the release in Dec
goal in Dec.

I can easily merge the ddtp branch into the debian-sid branch. The
code should be good and stable (it seems used in ubuntu/edgy too and
there were no problems AFAICS). If the release team is ok with this
I'm fine with it too.

P.S. CC on discussions I'm not on debian-i18n. I'm also available in
irc (nick "mvo") if something needs to be discussed quickly.
