Merci Beaucoup!

For English, yes.  I forgot exactly how ...  I see ...  You need to
specify non-latin TTF fonts etc.  needed for CJK languages.   Also
Germans want their latex hyphnation specified.  I added latex
customization for hyphnation and font embedded into latex code using
plug-in xslt code.  These are required but minor customization.  I do
not think codeing style is elegant but works.  The work is done by
--backend=xetex to build pdf.

Oh, my makefile may not be safe for large -j value.  So there are
rooms to improve but we run make with -j1 or so.  So for now its OK.

(In squeeze, there were some build breakage for Debian Reference.  It
was some xelatex codes for table.  I gave up.  I was going to look into
this after the release but have not done so yet. I have been doing other
things such as input method packaging...  developer's reference is
simpler and this should be easier to build.)

Yes.  Just as I did for maint-guide.

Yes, please.

My big todo is to build all these DDP related packages under some
chroot.

  testing (monthly snapshot, updated when chroot installation is RC free
           excluding ones admin allow.)
  unstable

I think this should be good testing bed for tetex and other text
processing system.
