During Debconf, the i18n sessions enhanced the need for a new NMU campaign in the lenny release cycle. This time, it could be done earlier than the etch one, which was done during the release freeze. That would probably help in pointing the package maintainer's attention to l10n needs earlier in the release process. To help figuring out whether that would be good or not, please check the following page: http://i18n.debian.net/~thuriaux/l10n-nmu/nmu_bypackage.html I indeed expect that, for many of these packages, the initial note of the NMU process would trigger an action by the maintainer but even this would be pretty helpful, I think. --
