Terrific! Thanks for the confirmation.

I agree... this should definitely not be missing... but sadly it is.
Unfortunately "find / -name mozc_tool" and even "find / -iname \*mozc\*"
fail to turn it up (or any other extras, other than "mozc_server").

To be fair again, this package is currently masked (i.e. "testing"). But
I have not before run into a "testing" package that was missing such an
important component.
