I wondered whether I should de-escalate this or not.

I will actually choose an intermediate position.

I agree that the review was conducted only on 4 strings. So, sure, the
extra hassle on translators is not as big as I claimed in my former
mail. The hassle was more on myself. Point taken, here. Apologies *for
that part* of my mail.

*However*, what I deeply regret, still, is the complete lack of
communication about what was happening, namely the extra addition of
several new debconf templates.  This, at the exact same time we were
working on translation updates (which was visible through the flow of
bug reports against the package). And, of course, I also regret the
poor wording of these extra templates, which lintian does send
warnings for (particularly interrogative form in long descriptions).
It's not like it's your first debconf templates..:-)

I'm sorry, but I don't see any "screwage" on my side, I just see lack
of communication (maybe too many on my side...but way not enough on yours).

As written in another mail, the same happened with live-build and this
is apparently a proof that we can't communicate with each other. My
conclusion is therefore that I can't conduct reviews for your
packages, Daniel.

If someone wants to take this over, fine (thanks to Justin for doing
so and, well, thanks to you for following up with him). But I'll save
me some bitterness by backing up and not attempting to do other
reviews.

This concludes this thread for me.
