As seen in #604153, debconf templates files with fields using a ll@modifier locale such as sr@latin will fail to work with debconf before 1.5.34. This needs to be fixed by the affected packages Pre-Depending (not Depending) on debconf (>= 1.5.34) Only tasksel and keyboard-configuration are currently affected. Lintian maintainers CCed in case they would like to add a lintian check for this. Presumably after the next release the Pre-Depends won't be needed, but it could also be an issue for backports then. Release team CCed since this is one of those cases where something that looks entirely safe, like a l10n only upload, can completly break a package in a non-obvious way. (Hardly the first time *that*'s happened so I'm sure you're as wary as I am about translation updates during freezes, right? :) Also because tasksel and keyboard-configuration will need freeze exceptions. -- see shy jo
