I may not have been very clear. I am the upstream maintainer of man-db as well as the Debian maintainer; I'm not interested in maintaining a fork of my own package in Debian! While I'm overjoyed that somebody is working on this translation at last, I'll only include it if it's done in such a way that I can include it upstream without getting shouted at. > But I won't hinder anybody to submit my translation to TP. OK. I have sent both your translations to the TP German team, CCing the two most recent translators, so that they can merge it as appropriate and send it to the TP robot.
