Hi Nicolas,

First, thanks for your patch :-)

I took another look at the other i18n/l10n bugs reported against devref,
as I would like to use the opportunity to address them all.

First, there are two sections about this in devref. There's section 8,
which you patched (
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-l10n.en.html ) and
section 6.6 (
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-i18n
).

#478479 and #436162 are fixed by your patch.

#257150 and #483235 are about section 6.6. You provided a patch for
#257150 last summer.

I'm wondering whether those two sections couldn't be reorganized.
Section 6.6 could document everything that a "normal" maintainer needs
to know, while section 8 could be target at people willing to get
involved into i18n, explaining the Debian i18n infrastructure (and point
to section 6.6 for some of the gory details).

What do you think?

Besides that, your patch looks good, we just need to change the
typesetting of a view things, but we will do that before committing.

Thanks again,
--
