Hi, Martin.

I badly interested in seeing Trac 0.12 in Squeeze. The option (1) is far from 
being adequate since the lacking of i18n in current Trac release hinders it 
from being used in local solutions and this can be a great (x1000) 
improvement in it's distibution weight.

Since there are indeed big concerns about existing trac-hacks compatibility, 
the option (2) may become devastating.

I only see the option (3) having a point. The (3a) is pretty ok to me.

I hereby vote for (3a) and i'm glad to help.
