We're postponing it for few reasons:
- Last cdebconf upload is still not installed for all architectures;
- We still have the translation issue that you've found, Jeremy
proposed a fix and Colin has raised few comments on it. It should
be sorted out soon. (Jeremy looks busy so I asked Colin to take a
look at it);
- This change involves minor changes to d-i and a package that will
be only used by us now; I'd prefer to keep it to be decided by
Martin who has the needed knoledge to know if it should be in or
not;

It was better to wait it then have another RC just for it.

Sure and I do agree that we should run to release an RC release as
soon as possible but there were things to be sorted out that we knew
were need before a final release so it couldn't be called a RC in this
case.
With the cdebconf translation issue solved, it'll be truely called
RC. If no new issues are discovered then we're done.

Until cdebconf is built to hppa, no RC can be done.

That is sad but users can use daily netboot for it.

Yep! Will do.
