I can implement this.

Any idea when you will clarify?

Given that most of the items are handled I'd like to know a rough time
frame when it will be transferred into the main trunk for actual
deployment in Debian. There are still some minor fixups to be done
(like, e.g., replacing the shipped style files with the Debians once,
improving the explanation about the missing mpeg-file, ...) but before
continuing I'd first now like to see things available in Debian.
If there are any show stoppers from your side, or questions, then
please ask. If you'd like to have a list of the items still on my
TODO, I can supply it, of course (but most items we've already
discussed in this and the previous thread).
Greetings
Helge
