Problems with language-pack-nds

Hello Nils,

That's okay. This is an "update package" which are empty by design for
a final release. The -base package has all the translations:

  http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/karmic/language-pack-nds-base

Please see 

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/TranslationLifecycle

for details.

Where is that displayed? We can easily fix the package descriptions,
but I guess those are the least concern?

Thanks,

Martin
