There are two days left before the end of my normal delay for l10n
NMUs.

I don't really want to interfere with work on security issues....but I
can't also hold this work for too long: there are other stuff to do
and I'd rather not have this rot in my hard disk.

So, would an NMU *not* covering the security issue interfere with a
security update ?

Again, I'd be happy to do the ecurity update but I need a patch. I
tried to have a look at the issue but it requires skills I don't have.
