Hmm...

Shouldn't "ja-" prefix be needed for each package which is just
japanized version of original program?
I think at least some packages (e.g. gawk, ggrep) should have "ja-"
prefix.

In contrast, at least "namazu" shouldn't have the "ja-" prefix.
Because namazu should be useful for English, too.

Also, is such "ja-" prefix needed for other japan-origin packages
which are only useful for japanese people.
Hmm, it seems that this issue should be talked on tech-pkg@netbsd.org
rather than tech-pkg-ja.

The above should have the "ja-" prefix.

I'm not sure about the above.

The above should have the "ja-" prefix.
And probably "ja-ggrep" is better?

The above should have the "ja-" prefix.

I'm not sure about the above, too.
Mmmm, "k" rather than "j"...
I wonder whether korean banner program does exist or not... ;)
(agc: "k" stands for "kanji"...)

I'm not sure about the above.

This is hard one. This less command isn't really ja- specific.
Perhaps "jam-less" or something?
Probably it is better to ask Marukawa-san <jam@pobox.com>...

The above should have the "ja-" prefix.

The above should NOT have the "ja-" prefix.

The above should have the "ja-" prefix.
And probably "ja-gsed" is better?

I think "vflib" should be categorized in "graphics", rather than
"print". Because "vflib" is similar to "graphics/freetype".

I'm not sure about the above.
