that and also because we would need to introduce new binary packages for
this new translation which is a no-go at this stage of the buster maintenance
cycle.

I agree.
And btw, I'm also responsible / to blame for the decision to ship a
debian-edu-pt-pt package in bullseye and not a debian-edu-pt package, for
two reasons:
- while there is some ambiguity whether packages for Portuguese from Portugal
should be called pt-pt or pt, there is no precedence (and tool support)
for having pt packages for "African Portuguese" and pt-pt for Portuguese
from Portugal, so I'm not fully convinced this is the right way forward.
(It might be.)
- because of this and because we are very late at the bullseye release
cycle I don't want to introduce this at this very late state. We can
already consider us lucky if we manage to get new debian-edu-doc-pt-pt
packages added to bullseye at this time!
I'm sorry that your work on debian-edu-doc-pt will not be included in the
bullseye release. But: after the release is before the release and bookworm
will be much better thabn bullseye anyway!
So, thanks for your great work and please keep it up!
Obrigado! :)
