Michael just followed up on another translation bug report (in Danish). So, we know he's somehow listening to the BTS and responsive to bugs sent against the package he maintains. It is thus my duty to do my best to avoid an NMU and let him upload. Of course, in case still nothing happens, I'll do the NMU and....here I would be missing a German translation! I suggest you send an update anyway to the BTS, with a nice wording explaining this is a suggestion from the German l10n team and not a tentative to hijack Michael's translation work. Limit changes in existing strings to things you consider really needed (spelling errors, mostly) even if these translations do not fit the usual dlg standards. But, of course, complete the 3 missing strings... I hope we don't have any pending conflict, here...:-)
