Dear Debian maintainer, On Friday, October 11, 2013, I notified you of the beginning of a review process concerning debconf templates for localepurge. The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates, and the final proposed changes are attached to this update to the original bug report. Please review the suggested changes, and if you have any objections, let me know in the next 3 days. However, please try to avoid uploading localepurge with these changes right now. The second phase of this process will begin on Thursday, November 07, 2013, when I will coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates. The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will receive an updated PO file for their language. Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to the debian-i18n mailing list. Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with. The call for translation updates and new translations will run until about Thursday, November 28, 2013. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed or changed debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of course, other changes are safe. Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact that I simultaneously work on many packages. Around Friday, November 29, 2013, I will contact you again and will send a final patch summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates, updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations). Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation. --

_Description: Locale files to keep on this system:
The localepurge package will remove all locale files from the system
except those that you select here.
.
When selecting the locale corresponding to your language and country
code (such as "de_DE", "de_CH", "it_IT", etc.) it is recommended to
choose the two-character entry ("de", "it", etc.) as well.
.
Entries from /etc/locale.gen will be preselected
if no prior configuration has been successfully completed.
Template: localepurge/use-dpkg-feature
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Use dpkg --path-exclude?
dpkg supports --path-exclude and --path-include options to filter files
from packages being installed.
.
Please see /usr/share/doc/localepurge/README.dpkg-path for more
information about this feature. It can be enabled (or disabled)
later by running "dpkg-reconfigure localepurge".
.
This option will become active for packages
unpacked after localepurge has been (re)configured. Packages
installed or upgraded together with localepurge may (or may not) be
subject to the previous configuration of localepurge.
Template: localepurge/none_selected
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Really remove all locales?
No locale has been chosen for being kept. This means that all locales will be
removed from this system. Please confirm whether this is really your
intent.
Template: localepurge/remove_no
Type: note
_Description: No localepurge action until the package is configured
The localepurge package will not be useful until it has been successfully
configured using the command "dpkg-reconfigure localepurge". The
configured entries from /etc/locale.gen of the locales package will then
be automatically preselected.
Template: localepurge/mandelete
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Also delete localized man pages?
Based on the same locale information you chose, localepurge can also
delete localized man pages.
Template: localepurge/dontbothernew
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Inform about new locales?
If you choose this option, you will be given the opportunity
to decide whether to keep or delete newly introduced locales.
.
If you don't choose it, newly introduced locales will be
automatically dropped from the system.
Template: localepurge/showfreedspace
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Display freed disk space?
The localepurge program can display the disk space freed by each
operation, and show a final summary of saved disk space.
Template: localepurge/quickndirtycalc
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Accurate disk space calculation?
There are two ways available to calculate freed disk space. One is
much faster than the other but far less accurate if other changes occur
on the file system during disk space calculation. The other one is more
accurate but slower.
Template: localepurge/verbose
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Display verbose output?
The localepurge program can be configured to explicitly show which
locale files it deletes. This may cause a lot of screen output.

Description: reclaim disk space by removing unneeded localizations
This package provides a script to recover disk space wasted for unneeded
locales, GNOME/KDE localizations and localized man pages. Depending on
the installation, it is possible to save hundreds of megabytes of disk
space taken up by localization you will most probably never have any
use for. It is run automatically upon completion of any APT installation
actions.
.
This tool is a hack which is *not* integrated with the system's
package management system and therefore is not for the faint of heart.
Its interference can provoke strange, but usually harmless, behavior in
programs related to apt/dpkg, such as dpkg-repack, reportbug, etc.
Responsibility for its usage and possible breakage of the system
therefore lies in the system administrator's hands.
.
Please do abstain from reporting any such bugs blaming localepurge if you
break the system by using it. If you don't know what you are doing and
can't handle any resulting breakage, you should not install this package.
