I made an attempt yesterday after being pointed at this by Julien (I
was trying to get debconf l10n fixed and uploaded a package to tpu
with these fixes....sorry, I should have asked before).
However, the build system of that package is not well known to me
(upstream tarballs in the source package) and I don't know how to
properly patch the sources with the two security fixes. Just naively
dropping them to a newly-created debian/patches and creating
debian/patches/series didn't work as expected.
So, I gave up.
If anyone is working on this, I would deeply appreciate if the two
debconf translations that are fixed in unstable would be fixed in the
tpu upload.
