Also, since the Ubuntu installer is pretty much d-i, what happens to my 
translation updates of d-i stuff? Will these updates ever reach d-i's 
svn repository? If not, Claus Hindsgaul (main Danish Debian translator) 
and I will be doing *a lot* of duplicate work. This goes for all other 
languages as well, of course.
