[Bug 1823444] Re: The Japanese Era name will be changed on May 1, 2019

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

This has now been merged into the Debian repository. Since we now have
reached final freeze for disco, it will need to be SRUed to disco as
well.

This is what I suggest:

* Let's wait until Debian has made a new release which includes the era
patch.

* Sync with Debian when the Ee-series has been opened.

* SRU by backporting the synced package.

Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now.
