I disagree on that point. Lack of human resources is one factor but not 
the main factor.
But it is always an excuse for low quality. This is a FOSS problem not 
limited to Debian itself.

But that is not the point. The motivation is not important when it comes 
to Debian as a project and how it is perceived in the public. As a 
maintainer I also do take responsibility for the well-being and 
motivation of my contributors. But there are other factors a maintainer 
need to take into account. And the big thing is, to bring this factors 
in kind of a balance. If a translation/language don't get enough love in 
my project I do delete it to protect the project and my users.

I used this issue to bring the problem to attention. I am acting with 
Debian as a project in my mind.
If you, as maintainer (?), feel different, that is up to you.
Close it then.

Regards,
Christian
