Which reminds me - the same method that we come up with to fix this, if
it can be fixed, might be usable for iamerican/ibritish. What we need
is something along the line of what update-menus does but interactive.
Perhaps DPKG:TNG wil include some way of registering a script to run at
the end of the configuration? Any interactive but non-vital
configurations could then happen at the very end, easing one point. It
would probably allow one running of inittex and one selection of ispell
dictionaries.
Ideas?
