Actually, this brings up another subject that we discussed on
#ubuntu-desktop this afternoon: this might have been my fault for not
checking out and giving a heads up, but I hadn't realized that there
hadn't been any ubuntu-docs upload last week.

Since we implemented the feature whereby localized documentation is part
of the language packs a few cycles ago, ubuntu-docs need to be uploaded
to launchpad prior to starting the process of exporting the translations
for language packs.

Uploading the final Ubuntu Docs package tonight will already be too
late, as today marks the date when we do the final export for
translations (at 22:00UTC), and the docs translations will most probably
not be imported on time.

We could conceivably hack the generated language packs, which will be
built tomorrow, to include them. I'd personally be a bit wary of doing
this for the LTS, but I'll let Martin comment on this.

It effectively means that the final Ubuntu docs translations for 12.04
will be those from the upload on the 2nd of April [1], and any others
will have to be delivered in a post-release language pack update, which
I'd like to schedule quite early after release (more on this on an
e-mail tomorrow).

That's a really good point, let's see if Martin can clear this up.

Thanks, it'd be great if we could get some out there for the next 12.04
post-release language pack.

Cheers,
David.
