Most of these packages already have a bug, minor or wishlist. Each time a new package appears not to be using po-debconf, I fill a bug immediatly (the last one is gom, #356202). I'm not sure increasing the severity of these bugs is the right solution -- not having debconf translatable is not critical. Reporting every maintainer to [EMAIL PROTECTED] may be a better solution. -- Thomas Huriaux
