Dear Debian maintainer,
The exabgp Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has
pending bug report(s) which include translation updates or fixes
for po-debconf, namely bug number 687134 (and maybe other similar
bugs).
This bug is not an l10n bug per se, but, being a debconf abuse (and a
very clear) one, it affects l10n.
So, sorry for this, but the radar beeped at your package and here am
I
with an NMU intent...:-)
I have the intention, as part of a more general action of the Debian
i18n Task Force to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload
for exabgp in order to fix this.
In short, by removing the debconf use and move information to a newly
created NEWS.Debian file.
Of course, an upload made by you would even be better...:-)
Such changes are always harmless, which explains why I safely
consider
building NMUs 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 2 days) is roughly the following:
Friday, December 28, 2012 : send this notice
Tuesday, January 01, 2013 : post a NMU announcement to
debian-i18n with you
(maintainer) CC'ed
this can happen earlier if the maintainer agrees
In such case, the deadlines below will also
happen earlier
Wednesday, January 09, 2013 : (midnight) deadline for
receiving translation updates
Thursday, January 10, 2013 : build the package and upload it
to DELAYED/7-day
send the NMU patch to the BTS
Thursday, January 17, 2013 : NMU reaches incoming
If you intent to upload yourself, please notify me so that I
interrupt
the process on my side. Please also don't upload without a discussion
with me. Some translators might send a few new translations and I can
handle
a round of translation updates for you. Really, don't upload
silently...:-)
In case I upload an NMU, I will subscribe to the Package Tracking
System for
exabgp 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.
