Hi,
I'm the Debian packager of phpMyadmin. I've quite recently taken over the package, and while we were approaching a new release (Etch) I haven't made extensive changes, but now Etch is out I plan to polish it up quite a bit.
In that context I was wondering the following: we're currently packaging from the 'all-locales.tar.gz' from the website, but I'm considering to switch to the 'utf8-only' tarball. It's quite a bit smaller so it will reduce the installed size for users.
Do you think using the utf8-only tarball would cause problems or is it a safe thing to do?
Otherwise, if you as upstream authors have any comments on the Debian packaging, I'm glad to hear it.
Thanks, Thijs
