Control: found -1 3.0~a51-1 Dear Debian maintainer, (“oh no, not another one”…) The live-build Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has pending bug reports which include translation updates or fixes for po-debconf, namely bug number 685445 (and maybe other similar bugs). The i18n team is now hunting the very last bits of missing localization and your package went on our radar. You may have uploaded recently but, unfortunately for you, you then got *another* l10n bug report. We really should prevent translators from translating...:-) So, sorry for this, but the radar beeped at your package and here am I with an NMU intent...:-) I noticed they are actually fixed in unstable, but the 3.0~a57-1 version contains changes that are not in line with the freeze policy, and I couldn't find any trace of pre-approval or unblock request, thus the intent to fix them via t-p-u. In case you can't update your package, I hereby propose, as part of a more general action of the Debian i18n Task Force to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload for this package in order to fix this as well as all pending translations for the documentation and debconf templates. Of course, an upload made by you would even be better...:-) Such changes are always harmless, which explains why I safely consider building NMU's for such issues even though they're obviously non critical.. The schedule for the NMU (in case it happens, that is if you agree with it or if I don't receive any answer in 3 days) is roughly the following: Monday, August 20, 2012 : send this notice Thursday, August 23, 2012 : build the package, ask the RT to approve a t-p-u upload and send it to DELAYED/7-day*, send the NMU patch to the BTS. Thursday, August 30, 2012 : NMU reaches incoming * or its equivalent, depending on how long the RT handle the t-p-u request. In case I upload an NMU, I will subscribe to the Package Tracking System for this package and follow its life for 60 days after my NMU in order to fix any issue potentially introduced by my upload. Let me know, as soon as possible, if you have any kind of objection to this process. If you'd rather do the fix yourself, I will of course leave the package alone. Same if you have reasons not to do the update now. Regards David
