Dear Debian maintainer, The postgresql-common Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has pending bug report(s) which include translation updates or fixes for po-debconf, namely bug number 479360 (and maybe other similar bugs). Even though this bug is quite recent, the release of Debian is not that far and an opportunity should be taken to not only fix that l10n bug, but also get more translations for your package. I have the intention, as part of a more general action of the Debian i18n Task Force to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload for postgresql-common in order to fix this as well as all pending translations for the debconf templates. Of course, as you seem pretty active on that package, an upload by you would also be OK...as long as it allows a round of translation updates. Such changes are always harmless, which explains why I safely consider building NMU's for such issues even though they're obviously non critical. The schedule for the NMU (in case it happens, that is if you agree with it or if I don't receive any answer in 14 days) is roughly the following: Sunday, July 13, 2008 : send this notice Sunday, July 27, 2008 : post a NMU announcement to debian-i18n with you (maintainer) CC'ed Wednesday, August 06, 2008 : deadline for receiving translation updates Thursday, August 07, 2008 : build the package and upload it to DELAYED/2-day send the NMU patch to the BTS Saturday, August 09, 2008 : NMU reaches incoming If you intent to upload yourself, please discuss with me. I propose handling a translation update round and I can handle it myself for you. That will just require a few days. In case I upload an NMU, I will subscribe to the Package Tracking System for postgresql-common and follow its life for 60 days after my NMU in order to fix any issue potentially introduced by my upload. Let me know, as soon as possible, if you have any kind of objection to this process. If you'd rather do the fix yourself, I will of course leave the package alone. Same if you have reasons not to do the update now. --
