Heheh.. right. Funny, I didn't use it in my package. I'll add it just in
case.

I think what we can do as a middle-ground solution is (and I would only
do this for the next release though):

- create one meta-package called xfonts-ttf-arabeyes which would
  install xfonts-ttf-arabeyes-pack#
- create xfonts-ttf-arabeyes-pack# meta-packages which would
  install the specific packages, xfonts-ttf-arabeyes-FAMILYNAME
- create xfonts-ttf-arabeyes-FAMILYNAME out of each release
  tarball

Does that sound reasonable? Again, since the ttf-arabeyes package has
already been uploaded (not sure how long it will stay in the queue.. too
slow!), I don't want to go back and re-do this for this 1.1 release. The
next one (which should have harakat stacking support - should be coming
soon'ish).
