Yes, I cited you on this.  More stable than many release versions of
things.

Several test installs back that up.  Yes, it does Just Work, though you
need to to apt-get install localeconf first.  (Assuming you didn't pick
Japanese in tasksel.  I've never done that because it installed too many
things I didn't want or use.  Since it's Deb, I'm sure there's a way
around that, but it was so easy to just install the 4 things I needed
that I never looked into it.)

One does need the ml version of rxvt (or aterm, the original subject
line) but, as usual with Debian, it just works.
