Hi,

I have brought up the issue of fop hyphenation patterns before, but it
did not lead anywhere yet, so I’d like to open a bug report to track the
status. The relevant mails are:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-java-maintainers/2010-November/029765.html
and
http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2010/12/msg00000.html

I'd propse this course of action:

 * Manually fetch offo-hyphenation_v2.0.zip from
   http://offo.sourceforge.net/hyphenation/index.html and put it in
   debian/. One could use dpkg's multi-tarball feature, but the files
   are not in tarball form anyways, and with dpkg 3.0, having binary
   files in debian/ is fine.
 * At build time, extract the zipfile and move (or link) the hyphenation
   patterns to hyph. This will build the hyphenation jar file during the
   fop build.
 * Install the jar with fop and use it automatically and by default.

This is sub-optimal, as we are not packing the “real” sources from 
http://tug.org/svn/texhyphen/trunk/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/
but maybe it is ok.

If it is not, then one has to assemble some files from the above SVN
repository, e.g. the scripts from
http://tug.org/svn/texhyphen/trunk/hyph-utf8/source/generic/hyph-utf8/
and http://tug.org/svn/texhyphen/trunk/collaboration/source/offo/
and then take the .tex files from
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns and generate the
.tex files at fop build time.

I’d really appreciate to have working fop-hyphenation out-of-the-box
with wheezy, and I’m happy to help.

Greetings,
Joachim
