It does. i cannot tell you from which version it does this, as I
have not been looking for this before.
Looking in /etc/X11xkb/symbols the EuroSign can be found (in
different keys) in a lot of language keymaps, appart from Spanish
one.

Ok, but I think this should be done _by hand_. This must be provided
for the xlibs package. Perhaps I should report a bug to that package...

The same with above. I think that the "Euro problem" should be solved
easily, not downloading 'rare' packages or using fonts from Windows or
Adobe. I think that almost all the default fonts should include a
ISO-8859-15 version.
I think that this is a thing that should be solved before Woody is
released, as Woody is going to live in the change to Euro, and a lot of
people are going to ask the same question that I'm asking right now. And
the answer should be something like "Install user-euro package" (or
user-whateverisyourcountry)
