Thanks. I fixed the typos and commited an updated version of your
translation.

Sorry, I am already on vacations in my mind :)

You are right, that this should be fixed. At first I don't want to
introduce the difference between new upstream and new distru version
into the default status view - so it would be nice to handle this on the
custom filter level.

A later upstream version might also be an important security fix. So I
think that we cannot judge on the content of the package relying only on
the version schema.

Regards and thanks for your efforts,
