Thanks for the head-up.

Now ok:
http://packages-powell.debian.org/de/sid/sup

However, I consider we (packages.d.o) should not overwrite a stable translation
with a sid one (DDTP can do internally, but that's not up to data consumer to
do this).

So I guess packages.d.o should store translations per distribution (hence the
proposal of md5 for translations as well). 

Ideas ?
