Hmmm, I was thinking about the very old ones, not the new ones.
But I did not phrase it clearly, sorry. :(
I was thinking about list which packages could be updated to use
po-debconf and which ones are too old and unmaintained and should be
"hinted" for removal. Specially because all the work to move for po-debconf
was done quite a while ago (woody times), well, in fact it was just an
offer to help tracking the remaining packages and list them in a wiki page
or something like that. :)
Kind regards,
