We are still running very much on 'reduced power' since the break in to
the Debian machines.  We have no CVS repository, we only just got access
to gluck, where the OOo packages master repository is hosted and I still
have to go through the repository and audit it and all the maintenance
scripts.  I was only able to make an upload so quickly because it was
already ready to go before the break in.

Thanks.  Well, the information about the missing directory was only
posted on November 2, and that was too late into the cycle of -3 (which
I just uploaded) to get included.

And your estimates of available manpower are way too much :)  We don't
have any 'localized packagers maintainers' for -l10n-*.  Most of the
work is done by Rene & myself in our spare time along with the rest of
the packages.

Anyway, on to the bug itself.  I think this must be one of those strange
localised-but-not-localised directories, that gets duplicated into every
language upstream.  Because of our language packs we don't have this
massive duplication, and the directory is empty.  I guess a fairly quick
fix will be to create a soft link in each language pack to the english
bitmaps directory.  I'll try and get it in for -4.

Thanks for the reminder about the bug,
Chris
