This is more a response to Vince, than Gustavo:
How can you know what language is native for a maintainer, based on the
package name? Sending an english form-letter to <pkg>@packages seems wrong,
and against what this whole idea is about.
I would rather see support added to dpkg first, for storing this info(make all
tools in dpkg(this includes dpkg-dev(which stores the data into the .deb) do
this), then work on displaying this info. I am very much against this hackish
end-run around what are open-development tools.
