Hi,
locales.postinst has been modified to write locale variables
into /etc/default/locale instead of /etc/environment; the
latter file is a PAM configuration file, so modifying it
was a policy violation. Most packages have been modified
accordingly, but if you have trouble with some programs,

Hi,
There is currently no consensus whether translated man pages should

Unfortunately this leads to conflicts when a translation is first
shipped by the latter, then incorporated into the former (e.g. when

Hi,
NMUers please incorporate translated debconf templates send to the BTS
(unless they break package building, of course). Due to Debconf design,
these files are quite harmless and thus could be incorporated into NMU.

Hi,
there are 2 ways for a package maintainer to deal with l10n-ed Debconf
templates: either put all translations in a single file, or separate each
language in its own template file.
The former has a severe drawback, because when English text is modified,
there is no flag to tell that translated
