Hi, Sorry, but I didn't spot this bug before. I'm working on updating the previous wily package to close the reported bugs held against it and hopefully make it ready to re-enter debian. I'd be happy to work with you or pass you the work done so far.
You mention the supporting packages required: 9fonts and 9libs. The current package doesn't use these. Can you explain their purpose and whether I'm missing something, please? Thanks, -- MJR
