Thanks for your bug report; a fix is now committed to CVS. The use of iso_639.tab is deprecated; the recommended data file is iso_639.xml, the XML version. Unfortunately as the tab file was expected to be removed, it was not kept up-to-date with the XML file corrections. I have added a script to automatically generate the tab version from XML. Unfortunately the timing of this bug could barely be worse; Uploading a fixed version of this package would break the Debian-Installer build (or skew package versions), which depends on the iso_3166_udeb from this package. Hence my preference is to classify the bug as 'important' rather than release-critical, unless it actually breaks other software, rather than just can in principle. Do you have software it breaks, and if so, can you upgrade that software to use the XML version instead?
