This is really sad.  If we are going to have a chance to push Debian
into the middle east and the arabic countries, we need to have BIDI
support all the way.

We should try to explain how important this is.  I've been in contact
with several that want to push Debian in Iran and Iraq, and we need
proper Arabic installation for this to happen.
