I tried editing po files with Virtaal today, but I cannot reproduce this
behaviour of the Windows-style line-endings (see
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nueva_l%C3%ADnea for details on this topic).
Don't what happened to those files.

This massive commit is exactly what I meant: all lines in the file are
changed (and 59 removed), even if there seems to be no visible difference.
But the difference is the CR+LF line-ending.

I perfectly understand this. I already work as translator for German, and
I had similar situations as well, so I know what you are talking about.
I feel sad to read your above comments, I was hoping to get the Spanish
translation 100% up-to-date again.
To be honest, Spanish was lying far behind with its translation statistic
for years!
When reading the above, I also read
https://lists.debian.org/debian-l10n-spanish/2020/08/msg00058.html
(via Google Translator), and now I realize the whole problem.
Javier is working as translator for Spanish for a long time, but since
several years there are only minor contributions by him. The last bigger
update was in 2013.
Because of this, I have added a hint
"This translation of the installation guide is not up-to-date and
currently there is noone actively working on updating it. ..."
to Spanish (and other languages).
See
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/installation-guide/-/commit/268eaec764f8fb0e230c0c3ec3aac10ffde9c5a9
Thus, Javier was not in the position of telling himself the current or
active translator for Spanish!
Therefore, I was happy to see major contributions to Spanish by you!!!
If you decided to no longer contribute to this manual, I accept this,
of course.
However:
At least I would like to add a notice to the manual, to mention your translation
update work in chapter E.1:
https://d-i.debian.org/doc/installation-guide/es.amd64/apes01.html
I think about adding something like
"Camaleón <noelamac@gmail.com> contributed a major translation update in 2020".
or similar, as you like.
What do you think?
Could you translate such sentence into Spanish for me?
Best regards
Holger
