That's pretty unfriendly to the description translators, and will create a larger packages file, for just the text files. And are you sure it is a good idea to have a virtual package for the last two issues, when Debian stable will be stable for 2 years ? 25Mb is rather big, but considering the impact of having 60 or so new packages for translators to consume, and the size of Packages file increasing, I would rather have one package than multiple. regards, junichi
