Debian JP Project hasn't dead yet :-)
But, JP translation project was suspended a long time ago.

Me. I became very busy (and I'm very very busy too at now X-( ),
so I couldn't manage this project well.

I excavate old archive, and put them
<http://people.debian.org/~kmuto/description>.

But I think they are too old to adopt or refer (they were made at
slink), and we should do newly.

P.S.
Why our translation project failed?
1. It couldn't make motivation to translate description of 'stable' package
   because the result will not merge current `stable' package at all.
2. There were(/are) huge packages in Debian, so the work was too hard to
   translate by a few members.
3. We hadn't any framework for use at the time.
4. I became very busy.
