We didn't yet agree on a deadline, but I suggest sth. like
Sunday, 2009-02-08 23:59 UTC for the English version and
Thursday, 2009-02-12 23:59 UTC for translations. OK?

Yes, there are two lines in the Makefile starting with UPDATEPO,
of which one is uncommented. Please change this in your local copy.
(We have to support etch, were po4a does not have --previous.)
