Dear Maintainers,
>> Package: manpages

I'm afraid, no.
I started having a look at the translations a week ago. I took the upstream
tarball, decompressed it, updated a copy of the PO files, and had a first
glance at the number of fuzzy and untranslated messages. This time we have
approximately 100 files with more than one change (just the version number).
Most of the manpages would still build, but with some untranslated
parts. The
ugliest beast would be proc.5 with about 20 per cent not translated.
How did you manage to be up to date so short after the upstream release? Do
you follow it's git repo? As I understand things, manpages(-dev) are
upstream
for the German translations. Thus a new release of your package would cause
some "German team" activity - at least on behalf of the maintainer ;-)

Probably it's already too late (1): At present the release team accepts
documentation updates only with fixes of RC bugs.
Therefore I suggest not to do a 3.44 upload now, and make an upload of the
*latest upstream version before release* after the release as first
update for
stable. Meanwhile the German team/me could work on 3.44, and later versions
to keep on running things.
Kind regards,
Martin
