freeze exception request for the pootle and translate-toolkit packages



Dear Release Managers,

A new upstream version of pootle and the translate-toolkit package has
been released.

For Pootle, the user base is, as of now, mostly made of translation
teams of FLOSS projects, that closely follow the development of the
software. Not having the latest version of Pootle in stable will lead
most of these to prefer using manually built packages. In short, if we
keep 1.1.* in lenny, nobody will use it (starting from the Debian l10n
machine, namely i18n.debian.net).

Upstream is not committed to support the 1.1.x series wrt security
updates.

1.2.0~rc1 packages are currently in experimental, and I would like now to
upload the official 1.2.0, but would like to know if these upload could be
done to unstable or should remain in experimental.

Thanks in advance,
-- 
Nekral
