Dear Debian maintainer,

On Wednesday, December 19, 2007, I sent you a notification about the beginning 
of a review
action on debconf templates for fdutils.

Then, I sent you a bug report with rewritten templates and announcing
the beginning of the second phase of this action: call for translation
updates.

Translators have been working hard and here is now the result of their efforts.

Please consider using it EVEN if you committed files to your
development tree as long as they were reported.

The attached tarball contains:

- debian/changelog with the list of changes
- debian/control with rewrites of packages' descriptions
- debian/<templates> with all the rewritten templates file(s)
- debian/po/*.po with all PO files (existing ones and new ones)

As said, please use *at least* the PO files as provided here,
preferrably over those sent by translators in their bug reports. All
of them have been checked and reformatted. In some cases, formatting
errors have been corrected.

The patch.rfr file contains a patch for the templates and control
file(s) alone.

Please note that this patch applies to the templates and control
file(s) of your package as of Wednesday, December 19, 2007. If your package was 
updated
in the meantime, I may have updated my reference copy....but I also
may have missed that. This is indeed why I suggested you do not
modified such files while the review process was running,
remember..:-)

It is now safe to upload a new package version with these changes.

Please notify me of your intents with regards to this. 

There is of course no hurry to update your package but feel free to
contact me in case you would need sponsoring or any other action to
fix this.

-_Description: Do you want to make fdmount set-user-id root?
- In order to enable ordinary users to mount a floppy disk using fdmount,
- fdmount needs to be set up as set-user-id root. Please note that this is
- usually considered to be a security hazard.
+_Description: Should fdmount be installed 'setuid root'?
+ In order to enable ordinary users to mount a floppy disk,
+ the fdmount program can be installed with the set-user-ID bit set, so
+ that it will run with the permissions of the superuser.
+ .
+ Such a setting may have security implications in the case of
+ vulnerabilities in fdmount's code.
