Actually, I asked the upstream author of gettext (Ulrich Drepper) as to
whether we could put gettext in main, and he said he doesn't have a problem
with it because he is not the one who make such decision for Debian.
Seeing that quite a few Debian packages already use gettext for compilation,
it would be nice that we put gettext in main.

Also, the GIMP User Manual 1.0 is out!! It would be really great if we
could include one or more of the .ps.bz2, .pdf, or .html files (plus
COPYRIGHT etc.) on the Debian CD. :-)
