Hmm, it looked to me that pdflatex worked fine with
lshort. What happend with you in fact?

It's so long document so I might overlook something but
xdvi in unstable seemed to display correctly.

I'm not so well understand the DFSG but there is a following
statement in policy;
2.2.1. The main section
-----------------------
Every package in _main_ and _non-US/main_ must comply with the DFSG
(Debian Free Software Guidelines).
In addition, the packages in _main_
* must not require a package outside of _main_ for compilation or
execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends",
"Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-_main_
package),
BTW, this issue was already different from what the title
told, I guess. About language.dat in the latest package,
it was renamed language.dat.dpkg-old under /etc in case
upgrading and there will be no language.dat under /etc in
case fresh installation, I believe.
