It is not problem how often language.dat changes but that if it was changed once then users will be prompted everytime at upgrading. And I suspect that for users in europe it is not rare to add extra hyphenation pattern, at least. > As far as I remember the major problem with the conffile handling in > tetex was texmf.cnf which appeared to not only change regularly but also > be automatically edited by the package install scripts without user > intervention. Okay, if you can provide us the way to handle texmf.cnf (central configuration file for all TeX related packages) which can work well with jadetex, xmltex, ptex, jtex, dvipsk-ja etc. please let me know. Note users can add local modification freely with the current method, please read README.Debian.
