Although I took over this package from former maintainer/author
Tomohiro Kubota to keep it on Debian archive, I'm thinking this tool
seems obsolete and doesn't fit for recent UTF-8 desktop environment.
The documents in this package is excellent resource for i18n people,
but the tool needs to replace everything rather than to modify a small
part.
