However, a discussion has recently been triggered in
debian-i18n at lists dot debian dot org about a better way to handle
mozilla-firefox-locale-xx packages. The main idea is having only one
source package which generated all locale-xx packages....

However, this will only happen in an unknown future (as usual in
Debian, things get done when someone cares enough for doing them). So,
I will probably try to build the -ar package anyway.

Get more Arabic-seapking people involved in the Debian New Maintainer
process, then..:-)

IIRC, Mohammed Elzubeir did apply as a Debian Developer...but others
can
also.. http://nm.debian.org/nmstatus.php?email=elzubeir%40arabeyes.org

Don't be afraid by the length of the process....becoming a DD is a
hard and long way...:-)
