I have no idea why my laptop suddenly decided to live in 2011..:-) I don't even know if that mail made it to all places it was meant to be sent to....So I'll resend it, of course..:-) > > Even if we're still far from the release of the next Debian version, > letting such bugs sleep in the BTS is simply lowering > the chances that your package interaction with its users may be done > in something else than the English language.
