It is time to get it into Debian I think. It was clear that it wont go
into etch, but I want to see proper context support in lenny, and
neither texlive upstream nor tetex has this.

Not that I care for ConTeXt, I am not a context user, but I want to have
everything TeX related more or less up2date.

You are heartly invited to write something better, it is all in our svn
repository. I am quite bad in writing stupid texts (better in writing
math) and I just copied the text from the website/description/doc.

Best wishes

DIDCOT (n.)
The tiny oddly-shaped bit of card which a ticket inspector cuts out of
a ticket with his clipper for no apparent reason. It is a little-known
fact that the confetti at Princess Margaret's wedding was made up of
thousands of didcots collected by inspectors on the Royal
Train. DIDLING (participial vb.)
The process of trying to work out who did it when reading a whodunnit,
and trying to keep your options open so that when you find out you can
allow yourself to think that you knew perfectly well who it was all
along.
