I have uploaded my source NMU of gs as gs_5.10-2.0.vflib.2 (which I think NMU-ready)
to experimental-jp (http://www.debian.or.jp/debian-jp/project-jp/experimental/).

This package is lintian-free now, and ready to FHS transition.

In this arrangement, I added kanji-support, jpdrivers-support, and jpconflict-support
to debian/rules.

kanji-support is required for Japanese Language support for gs.
This is defined as default.

jpdrivers-support is required for some popular printers in Japan
to use them via gs. This is defined as default.

jpconflict-support is required for other popular printers in Japan 
to use them via gs. Unfortunately, they have conflict with other drivers
in current gs package. so this is not defined as default.

In order to use jpconflict-support, one should undefine hp8xx-support.

jpdrivers-support requires kanji-support defined, and jpconflict-support
requires jpdrivers-support defined.

so one can define kanji-support without jpdrivers-support defined, but
can not in vice-versa.

I have not uploaded it into unstable of Debian, because I think that 
I should consult you Marco, before doing it.

I will wait for your come back from vacation (Nov. 3 ?).
If you can, please merge the diffs for my 5.10-2.0.vflib.2.
If you can not, then please let me do the source NMU for gs.

I am eager to get your answer. Thanks.
