Package: release.debian.org

Control: affects -1 + src:gimp-help

This is a pre-upload request to unblock package gimp-help.

[ Reason ]

The GIMP manual has been stale for many years. The current version
in the archive was released as a "test release" in 2020, but it was
incomplete and didn't even cover all the new functionality in the
GIMP 2.10 branch which was shipped in Debian buster.

A few weeks ago, the GIMP maintainers finally released an updated
version, which matches the current GIMP functionality and is translated
to a number of extra languages.

I'm asking for a pre-approval of this documentation-only source package.
If approved, I would update this bug with the relevant parts of the
diff, seek a final ack, and upload within the next week.

I also plan to do an experimental upload first, in order to see the
results.

[ Impact ]

Shipped documentation will be outdated.

[ Tests ]

There is no code involved, just a build system and documentation data.

[ Risks ]

The risk is low, as this is a documentation-only package, and its
current state is pretty poor.

[ Checklist ]
  [ ] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [ ] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing
