May I mumble a little bit?

I personnally consider it quite bad packaging practice to introduce
new debconf templates without giving translators a chance to update
their translation *before* the upload changing templates happens.

We have now 9 teams that are aiming at 100% completenedd for debconf
templates, with 7 of them probably able to achieve it for
wheezy.....except if maintainers keep breaking our work with
uncoordinated uploads.

For sure, you'll certainly be committed to do another upload and a
proper call for translations but doing that template change just when
I reminded you of a needed upload to fix pending translations
is....ahem, a little bit depressing. Ever heard about Sisyphus rock? :-)

As Helge answered you, the key is podebconf-report-po(1).
