[...] The way I understand it, the buster version have noticeble issues with i18n. One can argue how useful it is with today standards. It is hard to fix bugs in this situation. I do hope that warrants a backport.
If the package in buster is no longer useful, let's fix such issues to restore its usefulness. That's all I tried to say. Requesting pointers to Debian bugs is just the first step down that path.
As an aside, a backport was accepted at the beginning of November.
Which is great, so thanks for starting the thread to make it happen. Still, pure 'buster'-users won't see a fix, so it could be worth trying to fix the issues in buster too. Even though I admit in this case it might not be worth the effort...
Anyhow, thanks for reaching out to make Debian better. Regards, Micha
