Bug#573121: webfs: Provides useless English debconf translation

2010-03-09 Thread Mats Erik Andersson
In fact this is necessary to silence lintian when
when checking the package for cleaness and there are
no translations being upto date, so do pester the
authors of Lintan on this matter.

 webfs includes a debian/po/en.po debconf translation file where
 translations are just copied from original strings. This is indeed
 useless and just wasted space..:-)

Certainly not..:-)

Having *all* debconf translations incomplete is a clear sign that the
maintainer did change debconf templates and did not take care to send
a call for translation updates. So the point of the lintian warning is
to bring the maintainer's attention on this so that (s)he may either
issue the call for translations and wait for a few mode daysor
live with the package not being lintian clean, upload it, issue a call
for translations and then re-upload a new package version after 1-2
weeks, with fixed translations.

This lintian warning has proven to be very useful to make maintainers
aware of the possibility of sending calls for translations with
adapted tools.

Package: webfs
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n patch

webfs includes a debian/po/en.po debconf translation file where
translations are just copied from original strings. This is indeed
useless and just wasted space..:-)

I tag this bug as patch as the fix is quite obvious: just drop the
useless file..:-)
