That would better, but I still think it's a bad idea, because there is no meaningful way to integrate the translations yet. Once dpkg permits localized package descriptions, it would be appropriate. Until then, I think the DDTS should queue up the translations, and, after dpkg supports localized package descriptions, *ONE* bug report per *SOURCE* package should be filed as a wishlist item. In fact, it would probably be a good idea if all translation updates were queued and sent out at intervals (say, once per month or so) instead of synchronously with the update (unless the package maintainer wanted them that way). -- G.
