1027 Lopes <andrelop@debian.org> (Closes: #202245)
1028 * Use nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) rather than comparing to the translated
1029 string "Y". Closes: #200953 and should make the prompting generally
1030 more robust in the face of i18n. In the particular case of #200953,

1058 * urgency=medium because the changes since 0.5.5.1 are pretty safe as
1059 far as core functionality, 0.5.5.1 survived unstable for 10 days, and
1060 I don't want to delay apt's progress into testing any further. It's
1061 decidedly better than 0.5.4.

1079 to have this problem
1080 * Regenerate POT file and sync .po files
