Right, look there :

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kde4/hne/

This folder make the mistake with the release script. It must be removed.

I reassign this file to i18n team who manage this contents.

Albert,

I don't think the issue is the removal of the translations, rather the fact 
that the locale-code hne isn't defined in ISO 639-1 & ISO 639-2.

My reading of Chhattisgarhi_language[1] shows that the ISO 639-3 code is 
"hne", whilst the ISO 639-2 code for this family is "inc".

I am raising this as an inconsistency. If we are accepting ISO 639-3 locales 
then that is fine too and we will fix lintian.

Ok, once clarified it's not a KDE bug, just that debian tools need to be improved, i'm closing this issue.
