On sunday evening I was talking with Dave Coffin and I showed him the debian package. He doesn't like that the i18n pages weren't in the debian package and doesn't found any utility of some binaries (some fuji?) that I don't remember. So, we agreed that he would contact with Steve King about that. I think that the lenny deadline is an important question, but I would give to the debian maintainer some "period of grace". What do you think? Regards, Leo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
