Yes, the reason is that Debian woody recently upgraded to glibc 2.1.99
(i.e. the upcoming glibc_2.2) with new and improved locale handling, but
is incompatible with the locale files for glibc 2.1.x. I haven't upgraded
to woody yet, so I am not sure if Debian's glibc_2.1.99 comes with the
new Chinese locale files.

Yes, that is indeed the reason. I had wanted to write one myself for a
very long time now, but I just haven't got the time to write it yet, and
now that school has started, I have hardly any time to work on Debian
lately. (My apologies.) Here is part of what I wanted to write:
http://www.debian.org/zh/faq
http://www.debian.org/zh/devel/zhongwenhua
and also a quick-and-easy step-by-step procedure for installing Chinese
support in Debian. (Yes, apparently, after installing task-chinese-*
packages, the user still needs to do some manual configurations before
he/she can experience the full Chinese environment.)
Yes, if you have time, we would love to include your contributions.
Thanks a million!
Cheers,
Anthony
