I think my main problem is still that the patch is very distinct from
the main sources. What happens if you just remove all the #ifdef NIPPON
... #endif blocks apart from that in eucmac.h itself, and pick one
sensible alternative where there are #ifdef NIPPON ... #else ... #endif
blocks? Since the GNU standards say that the range of configuration
options in GNU programs should be limited, this would be the best way to
start persuading upstream to take the patch.
I haven't decided yet how this is going to interact with my new
packaging (see bug #53225). The programs in groff-base will be compiled
with Japanese support, but since the Japanese fonts etc. are very large
I doubt they'll go in the base system package. Depending on what
fraction of the groff package they turn out to be, they'll either go in
groff or in a separate groff-ja plug-in package.
