Subject: (forw) Debian release update, Debian Installer

For those of you who don't read -devel-announce. Others may easily junk that mail.
This forwarded mail is not all about Debian Installer but several parts are....so I figured out you would need this information.
As you will see below, the timelines for d-i releases are getting more precise, so you all have more precise informations for scheduling your own translation work.
Don't forget to forward this to other translators of your team (if you're not a "single" translator, of course!).

It's been a little longer than it should have been since the last one. Sorry. This is a not-terribly-formal update to get some news out despite the members of the release team being somewhat snowed under with other things at the moment.
So, once again, where are we?
debian-installer beta3 was released on 15 March as planned, and seems to be holding up fairly well. It was still short of some architectures, though: namely arm, hppa, mipsel, powerpc, and s390. Development on all of these is continuing, and we should have a beta3 update soon to add a couple of those missing architectures and fix up some other errata. The plan from now on is to release d-i betas at roughly monthly intervals, so expecting beta4 in the second half of April, with beta5 being the one we aim to release as stable after a further month or so of testing.
If you have some spare time and want to help Debian release, working on debian-installer should be your number one priority. Without an installer, we don't release; architectures without a working d-i won't be candidates for releasing. For myself, I found it surprisingly easy to get started with the daily netinst images and a batch of CD-Rs until I figured out how to build my own netboot images. Go for it.
We want to freeze for as short a time as possible. Long freezes are a serious impediment (those who remember the potato freeze will know what I mean), and cause no little confusion, so we'll only freeze completely once the d-i schedule for a stable release is absolutely clear. However, we do need to stop base system churn causing problems for d-i. To that end:
* As of now, no new packages will be added to the base system. This means that packages in the base system *must not* change their package relationships.
* Large changes to the base system must be cleared with the release team and the d-i team before being uploaded to unstable.
* Changes to the base system should avoid regressing translations.
* Where possible, avoid new major upstream versions of other packages
