On the other hand (sorry to focus to Debian JP, because I'm now only
a Debian JP developer),
In the short run, we Debian JP has a lot of problems on that. We have
lots enough (about 300 now) packages to merge Debian but it is now
temporarily stopped mainly because the shortage of Debian developer in
Debian JP. Debian JP has 10 Debian developer out of around 60 JP
developers.
We have to take care our Debian JP users, however, now we hardly can't
do. Of course, in the long run, our JP users get benefit from Debian
official packages. Debian itself is quite useful. Still without JP
packages, our potential customer avoid to choose Debian. We have been
working hard to merge JP to Debian, but it requires some help from
Debian.
