Intent to NMU lire to fix pending po-debconf l10n bugs

Dear Debian maintainer,

The lire Debian package, which you are the maintainer of, has
pending bug report(s) which include translation updates or fixes

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:

                 this can happen earlier if the maintainer agrees
                 In such case, the deadlines below will also
