Sorry, didn't notice that one.

Ok.

libkpathsea3: 2.0.2-20
tetex-base:   2.0.2b-3

Ok, I assumed that given the choice of manual or auto (as I
interpreted the debconf-question) was meant to give me a selection if
I chose manual.

Guess you can close this bug as the wording as been cleared, the
missing selection is intended (though IMHO still confusing) and the
updated translation is clearly seperate and wishlist only. I'll file
the latter once replies to the above mentioned mail-thread apear
(If I am online immediately, in the worst case on monday).

Greetings

          Helge
