All this seems very good to me...

But ( sorry ), what i want to see the most is that camomile is DFSG ( in
the sense of debian ).... There is a conflict of licence about the
UnicodeData.txt file... Which is problematic. 

So what i would like to see is an inverstigation of the fredom of the
library...

It is totally out of the coding scope but it is also needed to be in
Debian...

Kind regard
