Something is missing because when I try the menu item `Mule/Toggle
Input Method' (or C-\ for short) I get the following error:
Signaling: (error "Can't use the Quail package `latin-1-prefix'")
signal(error ("Can't use the Quail package `latin-1-prefix'"))
error("Can't use the Quail package `%s'" "latin-1-prefix")
quail-use-package("latin-1-prefix" "quail/latin-pre")
apply(quail-use-package "latin-1-prefix" "quail/latin-pre")
activate-input-method("latin-1-prefix")
toggle-input-method(nil)
* call-interactively(toggle-input-method)

I was used to compile Emacs 20.xx by myself and install the LEIM
package as well but I'd rather use a standard package. So I really
think that the missing files should be added.

I don't think so.

Could you please package LEIM?
Anyway thank you for your packaging effort.
