I think, we should try hard to make Debian 2.0 8bit clean and
internationalized at least for ``Latin + Cyrillic'' languages per default
(no offense to the Asian people intended). So the first point should be
obsolete.
Then we could offer Japanese/Chinese/Korean/Arab/... languages (with many
glyphs and larger space needs) as extra packages.
Anyway, what I wanted to say is: internationalization/localization and
applications are orthogonal issues.

Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
