Dear Debian maintainer, On Friday, June 07, 2013, I notified you of the beginning of a review process concerning debconf templates for ircd-hybrid. 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 ircd-hybrid with these changes right now. The second phase of this process will begin on Monday, June 24, 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 Monday, July 15, 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 Tuesday, July 16, 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. --

It also includes mbuild-hybrid, a shell script that simplifies building
and installation of such modules. This shell script is simplistic and
assumes a lot; if you possess clue, you will know what to do anyway.
