Intent to NMU lvm2 to fix pending po-debconf l10n bugs

Dear Debian maintainer,

The lvm2 Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has
longstanding bug report(s) which include translation updates or fixes
for po-debcon, namely bug number 393191 (this bug actually contains
translation updates which I collected during the l10n update round
back in October 2006, some of them not being included yet in the
package, for instance the Norwegian Bokmål one). Another pending BR is
#396268.

I have the intention, as part of a more general action of the Debian
i18n Task Force to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload
for lvm2 in order to fix this as well as all pending translations
for the debconf templates.

Such changes are always harmless, which explains why I safely consider
building NMU's for such issues even though they're obviously non critical.

However, letting l10n-related bugs sleep in the BTS is simply lowering the
chances that your package interaction with its users may be done in
something else than the English language.

The schedule for the NMU (in case it happens, that is if you agree with it
or if I don't receive any answer in 2 days) is roughly the following:

 22 Feb 2007   : send this notice
 24 Feb 2007   : build the package and upload it to DELAYED/0-day
                 send the NMU patch to the BTS

I will then subscribe to the Package Tracking System for lvm2 and
follow its life for 60 days after my NMU in order to fix any issue
potentially introduced by my upload.

Let me know, as soon as possible, if you have any kind of objection to this
process.

If you'd rather do the fix yourself, I will of course leave the package
alone. Same if you have reasons not to do the update now.
