Indeed, one day or another, such changes will flow in the files. IN
that case, because gettext tools have evolved slightly. Anyway, this
is of low importance.

I think that's most of the problem. For whatever reason, I missed
those answers (high mail rate at my place? More likely I was
unsubscribed to the PTS). So, I was thinking that, for whatever reason
you were unavailable.

In this case, there is no real urgency. It's just that the package
gets high on my survey "radar" because it has several translation
updates that are pending. And as I can't do all this work in months
before the release, I start early in the release process....:)

Sounds like it would be really really better if I hold off the NMU in
the delayed queue and let you process things the way you prefer, no?
Or is it too late already (the NMU will reach unstable in only 9 days
so we have plenty of time to discuss this..:-))=
