Thanks for your replies Timo and Matt.

Sorry - somehow the deadline changed into the nineth in my head :-/

Is there a reason, by the way, why a package like ubuntu-docs couldn't
be pulled in a few times during the release process. It would be easier
then for the translators to see their finnished work and do changes if
necessary. Because these are not language packs, their wouldn't be so
much drama involved (so to speak) - anything wouldn't be broken (to my
understanding :-) This would be one way again to make the process of
translation a little more streamlined.
