Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: "Dr. Tobias Quathamer" <toddy@debian.org>, Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña <jfs@debian.org>

Please unblock package manpages-l10n

(Please provide enough (but not too much) information to help
the release team to judge the request efficiently. E.g. by
filling in the sections below.)

[ Reason ]
manpages-l10n contains (translated) man pages for > 100 source
packages. Shortly before the hard freeze, upstream synced the version
of the (english) man pages in Debian and prepared a new release. Due
to po4a this either contains the updated translation (if available) or
the current english texts. Therefore, the translated man pages in
4.9.3-1 are now in sync what is shipped with Bullseye.

Furthermore, I finally managed to contact Javier Fernández-Sanguino
Peña, and we agreed that the very outdated spanish man page
translations are taken over by manpages-l10n, manpages-es-extra is
asked for removal.

[ Impact ]
Some translated man pages are out of date (in 4.9.1-7), giving users 
reading them outdated (or possibly wrong) information.

Spanish users will miss some translations, since manpages-es-extra is
not available any more and the corresponding translations in
manpages-l10n would not be shipped (they were deliberately not present
in 4.9.1-7, where I had not been able to contact Javier).

[ Tests ]
Upstream (I'm part of upstream) runs nightly builds of all man pages
in all languages, checking for (build) errors. Furthermore upstream
regularly reviews (where possible) incoming translations.

[ Risks ]
This is a leaf and documentation package, servicing our users speaking
languages different from English.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing

I can prepare the debdiff, but it will contain lots of changes, since
many man pages had updated (even if only due to po4a reformatting
them).

[ Other info ]
If there is any open question regarding this unblock, I'm most happy
to provide it.

In the changelog unfortunately there is a typo, the new upstream
versio is indeed 4.9.3, *not* 4.9.1.

unblock manpages-l10n/4.9.3-1
