On sunday evening I was talking with Dave Coffin and I showed him the debian
package. He doesn't like that the i18n pages weren't in the debian package
and doesn't found any utility of some binaries (some fuji?) that I don't
remember. So, we agreed that he would contact with Steve King about that.
I think that the lenny deadline is an important question, but I would give to
the debian maintainer some "period of grace". What do you think?
