Ok, let's give this a try, and see if the release team will put up with
us...

Attached is an updated .pot for consideration.  I'm in the process of
testing before committing this change, but here is the proposed template:

Template: samba-common/unsupported-passdb
Type: error
_Description: Chaining passdb backends is not supported
 Beginning with version 3.0.23, samba no longer supports chaining
 multiple backends in the "passdb backend" parameter.  It appears that
 your smb.conf file contains a passdb backend parameter consisting of a
 list of backends.  The new version of samba will not work until you
 correct this.

Does this look reasonable to you?

How quickly do you think we could get translations collected?  The window
for getting this update into etch is indeed quite small.
