Ah, I'm really looking forward to try it out soon!
I suppose that ttf-arphic-u{ming,kai} conflict with the
ttf-arphic{bkai00mp,bsmi00lp,gkai00mp,gbsn00lp} packages?

That is interesting to know. I'll put that in the README.Debian file.
The need for the Cyberbit font (or a similar big font) will be
diminished after CJK 4.6.0, since the new fontforge scripts will also
create font definition files for a UTF-8 environment.
