OK, I understand.

The changes are important within the usage of the package, consisting of
improvements that fix the remaining corner cases that would otherwise
halt an automated buildd for cross-built packages in Emdebian on Lenny.
v.1.4.1 should already provide sufficient support for most users, namely
setting up a cross-building environment on a Lenny system, based on a
debootstrap of Sid with cross-building toolchain and updated version of
emdebian-tools.

I'll hold on for now and see if a later upload to
testing-proposed-updates would be worthwhile. I'll also check with
Christian Perrier during DebConf about whether to make a 1.4.2 with only
the added debconf translation.
