Getting Translations into Testing

| What do I need to do to get an upload that contains no changes other than
additional translations to go into Testing?

| To clarify: this is a base package. It is my understanding that though
base is frozen versions containing no changes other than translations are
to be allowed in. What do I need to do to facilitate that?

If the version of the package currently in unstable matches the version
in testing, or if it contains no additional changes that should not be
accepted into sarge, the preferred method is to upload to unstable and
email debian-release with information about the upload so that it can be
pushed into testing by hand. No sense in making two uploads where one
would do.
If the version of the package in unstable contains additional changes
that should not be accepted into sarge, drop debian-release a note about
the contents of your changeset, and if there are no objections, upload
your package with a target of testing-proposed-updates -- being sure to
build your binaries in a sarge environment, not a sid environment.

Hmmm, great. This is probably what I will do for the next shadow
package update if it happens that a NMU is to be done because Karl
cannot make a release in time.
(Karl, forget about my previous mails talking about
testing-proposed-updates)

Send it as BUG report (wish) against the
Package and a Cc: to "debian-release"

John is the maintainer of that package...:-). He was just trying to
make the best action after someone (me) reported a l10n bug against his
package and suggested to push the fix into sarge.
