Why aren't people screaming for BTS > opt-outs? 1) The BTS is a well-established mechanism in Debian; 2) There are extensively documented procedures for resolving bug reports. At present, there is nothing package maintainers can do to get the translated package descriptions into the package. As Wichert has pointed out time and time again, availability of the data is meaningless if the package management system has no interface for handling it. If filed as bugs, these translations would have to all be marked as "wontfix", since no package maintainer can do anything about them until dpkg supports localized package descriptions. This has been reiterated time and time again for weeks, and yet some advocates of the DDTS mails continue to ignore it. I don't know what about it is too difficult to understand. -- G.
