Package: analog
Version: N/A

Dear Debian maintainer,
On Sunday, October 21, 2007, I notified you of the beginning of a review process
concerning debconf templates for analog.
The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates,
and the proposed changes are attached to this bug report.
Please review the suggested changes are suggested, and if you have any
objections, let me know in the next 3 days.
Please try to avoid uploading analog with these changes right now.
The second phase of this process will begin on Wednesday, November 14, 2007,
when I will
coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates.
The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will
receive an updated PO file for their language.
Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to
the debian-i18n mailing list.
Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as
individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug
reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with.
The call for translation updates and new translations will run until
about Wednesday, December 05, 2007. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed
or changed
debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of
course, other changes are safe.
Please note that this is an approximative delay, which depends on my
own availability to process this work and is influenced by the fact
that I simultaneously work on many packages.
Around Thursday, December 06, 2007, I will contact you again and will send a
final patch
summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates,
updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations).
Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation.
