Hello Paul,
I have prepared a non-maintainer upload to fix this bug (#431522) and an other
serious issue: po-debconf is listed in Build-Depends-Indep instead of
Build-Depends although it is required for "debian/rules clean". Debian Policy
7.6 requires that dependencies that are required for the clean target must be
listed in Build-Depends. My NMU packages and the diff to your last upload
(which is also attached to this mail) is available at:
http://people.debian.org/~fst/NMUs/localepurge/
http://people.debian.org/~fst/NMUs/localepurge_0.5.9_0.5.9-0.1.diff
Although we are currently in an everlasting BSP with a 0-day NMU policy (see
[1]), I have uploaded my NMU to DELAYED/7-day for your convenience if you
want to cancel my NMU. I hope this in your interest and you do not feel
threatened by my NMU.
Greetings,
Frank
