it always the same: many missing tags such as <file>, <package> or
<prgn> ... The problem is that this patch could unfuzzy again a few
languages but maybe someone wants to unfuzzy these and send a patch for
multiple languages? Someone?

As long as we do not update the SGML file for PO based languages (by
calling make update-po; make release-notes.<lang>.sgml) they will stay
at 100%. So no need to worry (except that this patch is not yet applied
to such languages).

Thanks for your patch. There is no reason not to apply it! I also think
that proper tag usage simplifies the task of translators (no need to
lookup a program name in a dictionary, ...)

wget could be tagged too ...

"aptitude install" is no command (so <tt> is fine, <prgn> would be
wrong)!? The command is aptitude! But let's ignore this ...

Good catch! The first / from /dev closed the <tt> and the last / was
wrong as /dev/dsp is a file not a directory.

Thanks, again.
