Hmm, just received three bug reports with updates to the Dutch
translations (#1030710, #1030711, #1030712), and although these came
after the CfT deadline, I'm inclined to include them and redo the
release process machinery (which ends up affecting the two topmost
commits in git, the signed git tag and the built artifacts). If you'd
like to see the debdiff for that, I'm happy to update and provide it.

But otherwise let me know, and I can just queue them up "for later",
whenever that might be.

Thanks,
Guillem
