No comment on the transition issues, but I hope you're fixing these l10n
issues by removing all of the idiotic debconf templates *completely* from
the package. No one needs a library package popping up a high-priority
debconf note to read the contents of /proc/cpuinfo to them, and my gorge
rises every time I see one of these debconf notes from the atlas family of
packages.
