I apologise for not responding to this earlier; I have been working on
patches for BIDI for d-i (a fribidi udeb, patches for cdebconf and
newt), but all plans have been thrown into disarray by illness; my
family (me included !) we struck by flu and I'm struggling to get better
by Christmas.

I hope to post the patches ASAP.
