Sure, we can live without issue with the way Debian does it now as
we are using this script to convert from and back the way things
are in Debian's SVN,

  http://cvs.arabeyes.org/viewcvs/scripts/translate/hier_fixup.pl

but still it would be nice to rid that 'stage1' directory from the
hierarchy completely (akin to what is in stage2 and stage3 in debian's
SVN).  Our current CVS for stage1, look like this,

  http://cvs.arabeyes.org/viewcvs/translate/debian/stage1/
 vs.
  http://cvs.arabeyes.org/viewcvs/translate/debian_remove/stage1/

Just a thought - if its too much of a headache then ignore this.

Salam.
