Source: libthai
Version: 0.1.22-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The new pango1.0 version 1.38.0 has gotten rid of its module system.
This means that libthai is now linked directly with pango if found.

Since pango also builds an udeb, all its dependencies (in the udeb flavor)
also needs to provide an udeb or it will be uninstallable.

For now I've patched pango to make it possible to build without libthai
support in the udeb flavor (thus disabling thai support in the installer
version of pango).

Given that the gtk+ interface is now the default for the debian installer
maybe it would be a good idea to have thai support enabled even in
the installer? Please consider if you think that is useful and
if so please start building a libthai udeb, then file a bug against
pango1.0 asking for the --without-libthai flag to be dropped.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
