I hesitated a lot before working on that specific NMU as I knew that: -you're a responsive maintainer -openldap 2.2 is mostly considered obsolete Anyway, I started the work because: -it's not a big hassle -it gives a rewards to translators So, I suggest that, if you plan changes to openldap2, you send tha patch tp me so that I integrate it in the NMU. An alternative is /me sending you a tarball with the po/ directory containing all updates I will have received at the end of the call for translation updates (which ends in a few days). The last alternative is removing the package from testing/unstable but I guess you have reasons not doing so..:-) Your call, Torsten. I'm fine with building/uploading the package and thus save your time for mor eimportant tasks.
