Hi Bernhard, The problem at present is not that there is any fundamental opposition to including them in the package, but rather that people did the work to make that possible, then upstream refused to include it.
So I'm not really sure what we can do about that, especially if even the people who need it find it preferable to use a local hack than to spend the time to fix it properly ... But given that 2.8 is still a moving target and will likely be obsoleted by 3.x before its problems are fixed, and that neither of those things may happen in time for the Lenny freeze, I am willing to listen to proposals and consider patches from people who seriously want to look into this again and have the time to implement and test it properly. I don't want to just move the 'fragile hack' from one package to another though, so this is going to require some genuine commitment from the people who need it to get it right and fix any trouble that shakes out.
