A few weeks ago, I went on fontconfig during the NMU campaign to fix longstanding l10n issues (#361259 and the like). Given the relative importance of this package, I took an unusual care to check whether I wouldn't disturb other plans by the maintainer. Unfortunately, up to now, I haven't got any answer from the maintainer. I assume that Keith is indeed very busy on other tasks and can't answer right now. Simultaneously, the D-I team mentioned some needs for a new fontconfig version ; which I'm unfortunately not deeply awar about. Could we collaborate on this and upload a NMU that would fix these issues ? The l10n stuff is definitely not release critical but the other changes may have some importance for the graphical installer. So, is there something that we can do? Unless I get a very late objection from fontconfig maintainer(s), I'll go for the l10n NMU anyway.
