Strategy for language packs

Hi Matt!

I take the freedom to quote to the developer list.

I just did. I did not write down every detail we discussed yesterday,
just some braindump of the general strategy. I welcome any comments
and corrections.

Not from my side. I think the current consensus (as written in the
wiki) is not the easiest, but the most sane one. If we convince Debian
to adopt the changes, then it might even get easier again in the
future.

Agreed. I will work out some refinement of the ideas and will present
them in the BoF. I think it's better to discuss that face to face :-)

Happy hacking,

Martin
