Its mostly translation updates, but there are some code changes as
well. The most noticable is that the https code will refuse
connections if the peer can not be verified by a trused signature (it
will behave likfe firefox3 here). This can be overwritten by the admin
of course (details in the apt-https-method-example.conf file).

The other change is a fix in the way the checking for new important
dependencies (recommends) are done.  The progress reporting change is
a fix that will now show running triggers in the UI (e.g. in
synaptic).  It really "just" UI improvment, but without the patch, it
looks like some packages are hanging (in the UI) when in fact triggers
are processed. Both changes are taken from ubuntu and are available
there since some weeks without problems.

The Dkgg::NoTriggers option is off by default and just gives us more
flexibility in the future.

Because of the additional code changes I uploaded into experimental
(not because anything in it is experimental) and will upload to
unstable if you approve of the changes.

Please review and give me feedback.

Thanks,
 Michael
