I'm missing the following practical note a bit in this discussion: are there actually a significant number of translations to take the non-trivial venture of a very late apt update? I value the importance of the DDTP project, but the translating effort has only recently seriously started. Looking at the statistics[1], I see that the best language has yet only one third of descriptions translated in optional and extra, and steeply dropping to only a couple of percentpoints for those after that. Best translated are required/important/standard, but those descriptions will be the least relevant to Joe Average, since these packages are already installed for him. Concluding, we will not be able to claim that Debian has "translated package descriptions", except for a very small number of languages. I think it's not worth the effort to risk delay or trouble for this; let's focus on other areas in etch now and make sure etch+1 has a really comprehensive set of translated descriptions. Thijs
