I wonder, wouldn't it be convenient to have podebconf-report-po actually /use/ the recommended things as default instead of insisting on the package maintainers to read up about its usage and maybe miss the one or the other? What happened to the principle of sensible defaults that should be used? I'm sorry if that might sound a bit harsh, but from a package maintainer's point of view, when a new switch is added and it is considered best practise, isn't that a clear hint that that switch should rather be on by default requiring from the users to pull them all out, one after the other? It might be too late to go that path, and people might claim "it always behaved this way, not everyone might use these (default) switches", but actually I wonder how many don't use --with-translators for a start. Just a thought, Rhonda
