as paypal doesnt work for Debian people in .jp I'd suggest to make an 
exception for them and let them use SPI as their payment method for this. And 
I'd also suggest to let Debian.jp do the accounting for this: they are 
friendly+trustworthy Debian people, so if they (=debian.jp) say: "The amount X 
is coming from the individual A, B, C + D and is for this matching funds 
thingy" I see no reason not to trust them.

Brian, can you please explicitly ACK this, so that our friends in Japan can 
start sending us all their money?! :-)


thanks & cheers,
