Hi Release team and ftp-masters,

this is a "ping" and a suggestion how to proceed.

Any results on this?  Maybe instead of resurrecting the cjk-latex source
package in testing, it would be possible to kind of fast-track NEW
processing of latex-cjk-chinese-arphic:  It has already been looked at
once by an ftp-master, but was rejected due to a stupid error in the
copyright file (sorry for this).  Nothing else has changed, so probably
it can be processed without much new work.

This would also bring down the RC bug count down by 1...

Many thanks in advance,
Frank
