Hi,
I haven't touched things for a while but it was needed to convert
platex DVI output (extended charset) to jlatex-compatible DVI file
(that uses a 8-bit compatible charset), which was pretty much everything.
If UTF-8 compatible latex is useful everywhere and we can remove
platex then maybe one day we can remove this.

Hello Junichi,
Installing both of dvi2ps-fontdata-{a2n,n2a} will result in dvipdfmx
and other tools going into a recursive loop (because both of them
refer to each other).
They should either
1. conflict with each other
2. have the priorities lowered (how?)
In #857404 I thought about merging all the binary packages, which are
created out of [1] into one. Now after reading this bug report this sounds like a bad idea.
General question: is that dvi2ps* still heavily used or is this software already reaplced by something different?
