They are all generated from the same code so naturally they all have the
same problem.
The Debian website also uses Zhongzu, but I think only for sorting
purposes and not for display.
The whole Chinese l10n stuff is really something I added by taking the
very old code from the Debian website and doing some fully uneducated

Anyway, will change "zu" to "wen"
