Re: About Bug#250789



(Please use the bts, I'm not the only one working on this stuff, and can
easily miss mails. I'm also the worst possible person of base-config's
several maintainers to talk about this stuff to, since I don't
understand encodings, fonts, or localisation at all, really.)

I'm currently trying to get a usable base-config into testing to use for
the tc1 release, and since recent, insufficiently tested, font changes
have led to the current mess, the last thing I want to do is make any
more changes in this area right now. I'll look at it again after tc1 is
released. I suspect that the code was added for a reason though.

There is no chance of making languagechoser changes for tc1. If
necessary we can do this kind of change in a tc2. If this is a release
critical issue for rc1, you need to explain *why* it would be worth the
bother of throwing away tc1 and spending weeks retesting with a tc2;
saying it's "mandatory" is not good enough.
