Hi, I'm going to start providing patches for package maintainers which aren't using po-debconf for managing debconf template translations yet (actually, I already provided a couple of them). I'm wondering if, in addition to changing packages debian/control file to Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep on debhelper (>= 4.1.16), I should declare a dependency on po-debconf also. If that's the case, which version of po-debconf they should depends preferably ? Should packages instead depends on the newer (as of debhelper 3.4.4 per debhelper's changelog) {misc:Depends} substvar variable ? Will it correctly pull po-debconf ? I'm also concerned about backports. I have the impression that changing packages to use po-debconf will actually make things worse for backporters trying to make packages build correclty on Woody. Could someone give me some hints on how should I proceed ?
