Hmmm, small work, indeed. The probability for fixes other than simple
translation stuff is very low. It seems obvious that none of us has
enough time to work on important bugs (the only ones, apart from RC
bugs, that would be suitable for updates in etch, right?).

Not having branching currently prevents working on more long-term
things like the Ubuntu changes merges I mentioned earlier.

I'm currently in the "what the hell could I work on while waiting for
etch to release" mood, so maybe samba could benefit it...:-)

(and, before you mention this, no I can't work on lowering the RC bug
number. All RC bugs are now beyond my skills..:-))
