I'm not sure, that's not up to me. It needs some organisation and
perhaps a new machine I don't know. I must admit I've been out of the
loop for a while. Also, this is for the DDTSS only, the DDTP consists
of much more. The new DDTSS base could beused to build a more robust
DDTP also, but we're not there yet.

Ah, thanks for these links:

I have been out of the loop, these explain the situation admirably.
What's primarily needed right now is a script which takes a Packages
file and a Translation file and combines them to produce a complete
Packages file. Someone must have written such a thing. With that it
should be easy to fix.
A bit late now, but I'll try catching up tomorrow morning.
Have a nice day,
