Hi Colin,

Please consider updating the Danish and French manpages translations
that didn’t make it in time for the upstream release. At least the
French one is important: since we translate arguments, having a partial
translation of these manpages makes it very confusing.

The attach patch just cherry-picks two of your upstream commits, I
already build the package locally and can confirm this patch is enough
to restore a completely translated man(1) page for French.

Please note that even if the current version of the freeze policy is not
clear about accepting translation updates currently, they actually are
and the wording is being sorted out (https://bugs.debian.org/769170#42).

Please note that I’d prefer a maintainer upload (to make sure that
everything is OK, and ensure the patch won’t go away in the next
upload), but I’m fine with NMUing or (team joining and) team uploading
it too: what I wish is to handle such translation update rather sooner
than later since they won’t be allowed during the whole freeze
(especially for packages producing udebs). I’m happy to take care of the
unblock with the release team too.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

David
