Bug#285319: License to package KHM in Debian
Hello Yoshi-san, Thomas, Thorsten, Kilian
A Debian user has suggested to include the khm package for typesetting
black letter (german type, Fraktur) in teTeX. Since it is not yet on
CTAN, and you, Yoshi, said it is still in beta state, I don't know
whether this is appropriate.
How exactly is khm related to Torsten Brongers blacklettert1? Is it an
alternative way to use these fonts, or is it rather an extension? Would
blacklettert1 be sufficient for you - I think it is regarded as quite
mature?

That's quite easy - just go to a CTAN mirror and submit it,
e.g. http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/upload.html.

That would be good to know.
