Dear Debian maintainer, The fiaif 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 486253 (and maybe other similar bugs). For once, this bug is indeed not a translation but a typo in templates. As fixing this blindly would lead to fuzzy translations, I propose dealing with it as a translation bug: let me handle it..:-) 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 fiaif in order to fix this as well as all pending translations for the debconf templates. Of course, an upload made by you would even be better...:-) 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 10 days) is roughly the following: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 : send this notice Sunday, October 12, 2008 : post a NMU announcement to debian-i18n with you (maintainer) CC'ed this can happen earlier if the maintainer agrees In such case, the deadlines below will also happen earlier Saturday, October 18, 2008 : (midnight) deadline for receiving translation updates Sunday, October 19, 2008 : build the package and upload it to DELAYED/2-day send the NMU patch to the BTS Tuesday, October 21, 2008 : NMU reaches incoming If you intent to upload yourself, please note that fixing the typo will break all translations if not done carefully. So, please wait at least for a patch from /me. Really, don't upload silently...:-) In case I upload an NMU, I will subscribe to the Package Tracking System for fiaif 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. --
