Intent to NMU user-es to fix pending po-debconf l10n bugs

Dear Debian maintainer,

The user-es Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has
pending bug report(s) which include translation updates or fixes
for po-debconf, namely bug number 486118 (and maybe other similar bugs).

(yeah, I know that user-es is not in lenny...but still)

We're now getting very close to the release and fixing l10n bugs should be done now. Letting such 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. It is also not
encouraging for translators.

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 user-es in order to fix this as well as all pending translations
for the debconf templates.

Of course, an upload made by you would even be better...:-)

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

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 10 days) is roughly the following:

 Sunday, October 12, 2008   : send this notice
 Thursday, October 16, 2008       : post a NMU announcement to debian-i18n with you
                 (maintainer) CC'ed
