[pkg-bacula-devel] Bug#687240: Bug#687240: bacula: [debconf_rewrite] Debconf templates and debian/control review proposal

[Alexander Golovko]

Hi, Christian!

Thank you for your help!

If i correctly understand, we should now wait for your review and
then ask i18n team to translate?

I'm sorry, but i didn't understand, what you mean under "giving a
deadline to translators". Does you mean, that there should be
reasonable delay between translator notification and package uploading?
