Ah, thanks, that is fine. *IF* we have to switch to Py3 version in
Debian, I think it is better to use these betas instead of the released
versions, at least what I see from the git commits on the py3 branch.

Cool, thanks. I don't create daily or git checkout builds, but that
helps in case I need to build from git once.
I looked through the code and it is very understandable. I realized that
doing the bootstrap started to pull from here and there, and now I see
how you worked around it ;-)

Well, so it be. We cannot guarantee translations to be updated - not
even for released versions of many programs, the translations are
updated in some point releases.

Agreed, I will simple *reenable* the dropdown action since the original
complaint in the bug report has not valid (no access to mobileread,
etc).

Thanks for remind me of that!

As said, will be undone in the next version.
