Package: convirt Version: 2.0.1-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org, bubulle@debian.org Dear maintainer, The Debian internationalisation team and the Debian English localisation team propose a review of the debconf templates used in convirt.

However, I propose that instead of handling database changes manually, you make use of the dbconfig-common helper scripts. This has many advantages: - the two templates you have defined become redundant, so translators need not work on yet another set of templates - dbconfig-common will handle for you all aspects of installation, upgrade and removal in a consistent manner, and deal with errors in a graceful way - dbconfig-common can handle multiple database engines - templates in dbconfig-common are already reviewed and translated into most or all languages Since the only two templates we plan to review would be made redundant by this action, you could avoid a dependency on debconf and avoid maintaning your own templates, translations and database management code. If you decide not to take this step, please tag this bug wontfix and tell me, and we will begin review of your templates.
