[Debian-in-workers] possible packages for indic-desktop task

[Jaldhar H. Vyas]

Christian Perrier suggested that we think about an indic-desktop task for
the new installer.  Here's a list of packages that could be included.  If
they need additional packages for internationalization, they are in
parantheses.

I've arranged them by language because we should think about whether we
want seperate tasks by language or put them all altogether.

Bengali
-------
GNOME 2.8
ttf-bangla-fonts
aspell-bn

Gujarati
--------
ttf-indic-fonts[1]

Hindi
-----
GNOME 2.8
KDE 3.2.3 (kde-i18n-hi)
OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 (openoffice.org-l10n-hi)
ttf-indic-fonts[1]

Kannada
-------
OpenOffice.org 1.1.2 (openoffice.org-l10n-kn)
ttf-indic-fonts[1]

Malayalam
---------
ttf-malayalam-fonts

Marathi
--------
ttf-indic-fonts[1][2]

Oriya
-----
ttf-indic-fonts[1]

Punjabi
-------
GNOME 2.8
KDE 3.3.1 (kde-i18n-pa)
ttf-indic-fonts[1]

Sanskrit
--------
ttf-indic-fonts[1][2]
sanskrit-tex[3]

Tamil
-----
GNOME 2.8
KDE 3.2.3 (kde-i18n-ta)
ttf-tamil-fonts

Telugu
------
ttf-indic-fonts[1]

iimf (iimf-htt-le-indic) supports input of all Indian languages for GTK/GNOME
Qt 3.3 and above support input of all Indian languages for KDE

[1] The fonts situation ought to be rationalized.  Either each script
should have its own package or they should all be in one big package.
Right now Tamil, Malayalamm and Bengali have their own, and all the other
languages are grouped together in ttf-indic-fonts

[2] Uses same fonts as Hindi

[3] Still RFP, I should finish packaging it soon.

Please suggest additions.
