This is true - I cannot change the regular package after release - I
have to take what translators provided me at that point of time. This
is what backports is for.

Ack.
Just for your information:
I expect upstream to release "this weekend" - but this might be
actually next monday/tuesday.
Then I might take a day or two to package this for unstable.
After migration ( ~ 5 days) I would like to prepare my backports,
which would need the proper package relations. (But I can delay this a
few days, if necessary, of course).
Greetings
Helge
