As you noted, it may not be the best approach (well, it would be messy
for translators to update everything they handle at Debian freeze time
too ;-).

If it's OK with you, I'm pretty sure that most translators prefer to
have a chance to keep their translations up to date, so sending the
usual call for translation before every upload will be appreciated in
most (if not all) cases, and if all translators can't always follow the
dctrl-tools release cycle, they can still prepare the update at their
rhythm, in the hope it will be included with the following upload.

I can assure you that we (in i18n) would love to see more “call for
translation update” than ”intend to NMU” mails on debian-i18n at l.d.o ;-).

Regards

David
