I have already replied in an earlier e-mail to express my support for your
proposal.
This message is just a reminder to not forget that when I uploaded the
updated translations from weblate this evening, I did not rename any files
and did not add any entries in debian/changelog yet, because I wanted to
wait until Holger had the chance after the weekend to give his opinion
first.
