Thank you.

I'll update libv8-i18n.
What's the relation with chromium FTBFS on arm (i guess you mean armel) ?

I do... no success yet [1]
I would very much like to use libv8-x.y instead of libv8-x.y.z.
Some tool like [2] seems to indicate that for example, there is no
ABI breakage risk between libv8-3.9.24.1 and libv8-3.9.24.21, as
upstream explains it in [1] too.
But, as was discussed on debian-devel [3], it's hard to certify
without upstream supporting this.
Also it takes an experimented c++ programmer to support that.
I'm not.
