Request for permission to upload nufw through t-p-u for l10n and debconf QA purposes



The nufw package currently has a 1.0.23-1.1 version in unstable. The
version in testing is 2.0.9-5.2

The debconf templates in testing are quite badly written and some of
them are even impossible to understand.

In the same time, most of these templates were rewritten for the 2.0.9
version in a NMU I did back in December.

In the same time, all translations in testing are strongly outdated
because the maintainer ommitted to run debconf-updatepo. So while some
PO files appear as complete they are about 60% complete.

I hereby propose the following:

- for common templates, bring back the text of the unstable version
- for templates that are only in testing, rewrite them to make them
  compliant with the Developer's Reference
- update existing translations with the following method:
  - merge PO files from unstable and testing
  - resync them with the rewritten templates

The result of this, if translations are not updated, is translations
with the same translation ratio than before, so no regression.

Of course, a last action will be:
- call for translation updates

As a consequence, on can expect:

- much better debconf templates
- for some languages, complete translations of these templates

In general, this would slightly enhance the version in testing. Would I ve
authorized to do that upload?

Attached are the changes to the templates files. Other changes will
only include debian/po/*.po files
