I dont know about big5 and hkscs, but I know XF4.0.1 with xtt module
can work under gb2312. So I think xfonts-arphic-* should depend on
xf4.0.1 and xfs-xtt modules, dont need xfs-xtt. I remember somebody
said that xf4.0.1 is slower than xf3.3.6+xfs-xtt.

yeah, this is a big problem. I have tried locale alias, but many apps
still cant work. I have to make a link (ln -s zh_CN zh_CN.GB2312) by
hand.
