What is the "absolutely necessary" condition. Give examples
concretly.
I seem that you mean "Japanese person must not use Debian".
There is no other interpretation to be placed on it.
As I say repeatedly, True I18N is more difficult than you think.
(I think Emacs is the nearest posion, but It is insufficient yet.)
# We know that our efforts are needed much more, of course.
Ultimate goal may indicate that Debian does not have any *-ja package.
But this is very nonsense idea at least for a long time from now.
Regards.
