Well, of course, I'm aware of this, but it seems that now the packages which switch to po-debconf are very few compared to what happened in mid-2003 when Michel and I started the work, and early 2004 when yourself continued it. And, despite this, we currently do *not* move from 90% for months. I monitor changes nearly daily and what keeps us at this ratio are mostly changes to existing translations....and new packages adopting po-debconf. Hence the rant....:-)
