URL, please.  ftp://ftp2.linux.or.jp/pub/linux/debian-jp isn't even a
Debian distribution any more (it doesn't comply with the archive
structure).  Nor is it properly integrated with the main Debian-2.0
distribution.

As for "stable," upgrading the JP stuff has left me without a working
Linuxdoc-SGML and I had to nuke my entire TeX distribution including
teTeX to get Japanese TeX mostly working---but the fonts suddenly
turned ugly.

One gets the impression, as often happens, that Japanese hackers are
o-taku with little commitment to quality as perceived by outsiders.
Damn shame, I say.
