I will. Though you'll have to be patient, coz I have loads of other stuff to do.
What is there that is not complete in the fribidi's implementation?

You have a search packages link on the left in the Debian homepage
http://www.debian.org
I thought you might know the debian maintainer actually. The name of the package
in debian is libfribidi0 or libfribidi and the development stuff is
libfribidi-dev.
