This is done as well.
I also conferred with the original author of th transtab/ directory,
and debian-legal, and documented the license of those files.
So, could somebody perhaps consider sponsoring python-translitcodec
into Debian?
It is one of a few modules that are needed by mediagoblin, a python web
application I'm working on packaging.
The other is python-mongokit, which I also haven't heard any feedback
about.
Thanks!
