[Pkg-openssl-devel] Intent to NMU or help for an l10n upload of openssl to fix pending po-debconf l10n bugs

[Christoph Martin]

Hi Christian,

openssl is currently frozen.

I am not shure if the release team will accept an upload.

Alioth has an uptodate package release ready to be  uploaded including
all the  l10n  updates.
