I retract my claim that translation of hints is not needed. It is
needed if you use them obviously.
There are two issue with hints:
1) Nobody understand the hints code, so it is difficult to maintain.
2) There is no list of hints currently, so this is a problem.
I don't know how to fix 1). Point 2) can be used by using debtags[1].
This will probably solve the translation problem.
Opinions ?
