Bug#768163: CUPS and CM option



Hi Joe, hi Till,

As you might have seen from this Debian bug (#768163), the Color 
management option is missing all non-english translations.

I must say that I'm quite concerned by this Color management patch for 
the following reasons:
- Debian's now in freeze; adding HTML template patches across 9
  languages (without having resources to translate these…) is slightly
  invasive for this freeze phase.
- In https://www.cups.org/str.php?L4462, upstream basically refused to
  accept your patch on a longer term. I will _not_ adopt the maintenance
  of this patch as Debian maintainer, so that questions the long-term
  maintainability of this patch.
- There's still #763517 about a failure to work correctly (which is
  arguably in need of more info from the submitter).

I'm now considering either of these options:
a) Leave it "as-is" for Jessie; this leaves CUPS in jessie with no non-
english translations for this feature at the advantage of not needing 
much work. I'm still questioning the responsibility for that patch over 
the course of the jessie stable release lifecycle.

b) Patch 9 translations with english content; this makes CUPS in jessie 
with english texts in native translations, and I'm not sure that it will 
be accepted at this point of the release cycle by the release team.

c) Drop the Color Management patch entirely for the Jessie release 
cycle: given that upstream has released the 2.0.x series and that, as 
far as I know, there is no color-management patch available for that 
codebase yet (and that upstream has declined to include your patch), I 
tend to think that this is the most future-proof decision for this 
patch.

What's your opinion on this?

TIA, cheers,

OdyX
