Thanks for your work, Vibhav!  But since this is such a small detail, I
don't believe it's worth diverging from Debian for it.  Since it's fixed
upstream, we'll get the fix eventually.

Though while I'm here, a couple quick notes on your patch.  Nice DEP-3
formatting.  :)  But always double-check your debdiff, since you
accidentally left a "fresnel-typo-in-lights-sheet.patch.save" file in
your debian directory.

So I'll mark this bug Fix Committed, since there is a fix upstream and
unsubscribe sponsors, since we don't want to rush this in.

Title:
  Dia - misspelling of Fresel (If I am reading it right!)

Status in Dia - Diagram Tool:
  Fix Released
Status in “dia” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dia

  While translating DIA, I found the following phase:

  Fresel lantern

  The context of the phrase is light. (Ellipsoidal Reflector Spotlight, black light, etc)
   
  The closest approximation to this is on Mr. Fresnel that invented the Fresnel lens 

  Fresnel - French physicist who invented polarized light and invented
  the Fresnel lens (1788-1827)

  Fresnel lamp
  Fres`nel" lamp"\, Fres'nel' lan'tern \Fres'nel'lan'tern\[From Fresnel the inventor, a French physicist.] A lantern having a lamp surrounded by a hollow cylindrical Fresnel lens. 
  (from a dictionary)
