[Bug 616682] Re: Backport system-tools-backends 2.10.0 to Lucid

[Milan Bouchet-Valat]

Seriously, I've moved on to other things since Lucid has been released -
glad to know SRUs are considered even when they are that old, though!
;-)

The only translation change between Lucid and Maverick package is in one
file and for two strings, so definitely not something to care about. If
somebody wants to prepare a new package for SRU, that's cool, but given
how hard it was to get somebody work on this, I don't think it will be
quicker than backporting the Maverick package.
