Well, the Debian infrastructure in some places runs based on git master 
branch, and in this case we have a cron job that pulls the changes in 
git. But nothing critical, I guess.

I think it does not make sense to have a package but OTOH if there is no 
package maybe we couldn't have gotten all the cleaning an up-to-date 
stuff that all you provided in the last days :-)

I don't feel confident to be the one removing the part of the code that 
is used only for obtaining a package (I don't maintain packages), nor 
asking the package to be removed from the archive (if nobody else steps 
ahead, I can teach myself in the following weeks and try to ensure that 
dl10n is not present in Trixie).

Thanks all and kind regards,
