Yes, apart from the translations we have wishlist and an important bug, but as
the changes made for them are really minor, I hoped they could "tag along" with
the translation. Both non-translation bug fixes would improve the usefulness

Anacron ensures, that the apt cronjob, which updates the package lists, is run,
even if the system is not up 24/7. The "Recommends: anacron" approach was also
taken by update-notifier, which's lead I was following here.
