if this problems happens we'll deal with it then. the worse that will happen is
we drop it from debian. it's not as if this package affects anything else.

then maybe we should just let it auto-migrate into wheezy. all that matters is
that the cs-lite version in wheezy works with the iceweasel version in wheezy.

i don't understand your reluctance of having this package in debian. there is
pretty much no maintenance cost - it's stable, unlikely to be buggy, and we can
always drop it. if/when that becomes necessary, cookie-monster will probably
have enough locales in that we can just tell people to switch to that.
