Not the only one we have, I don't care. ICU, ...  If its dropped, so what, we 
ship a copy.

Then please provide a patch for that, because there is demand. And not one that 
simply disables xdvi, that is just BS, everyone can do that.

BTW, I have already reported that some time ago to the xdvik bug tracker, and 
there is work going on. But before I drop xdvi I drop out as TeX maintainer. 
And the all of TeX using Debian will be hosed.

No, there will be xdvi as long as there will be TeX Live AFAIS, and thus also 
in Debian.

Enjoy
