This must be easy, because you are willing to force all Japanese
mnogosearch users to do this and I will agree on it.

How this should be fixed, Nokubi-san? Does Kakashi or MeCab have an
emulating layer (API) for Chasen? Or, any alternatives already
available for ipadic? mnogosearch seems to use chasen_sparse_tostr()
and chasen_getopt_argv().

I don't understand why you say so strongly. Yes, it is a bug. However,
did you document that Debian mnogosearch package is compiled with
eliminating east Asian support? This is just as severe as that.
Anyway, Nokubi-san is a maintainer of chasen packages and I hope he
will fix this soon.

A work-around. "apt-get install libchasen-dev ipadic" instead
of "apt-get install libchasen-dev".
