If you have some locally built Japanese html files ready, I suggest you sent
some of them compressed to debian-japanese for review.

Given the above review does not bring up any surprises, it's fine this way IMO.

dblatex/texlive seems to be in a bad shape somehow AFAICS.
I had a similar issue shortly with debian refcard, and the bug I filed
is still open and without further reaction
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1119911).
So, I think we cannot hope to get a solution from dblatex/texlive maintainers
or upstream.
Means we need to help ourself.
The issue at release-notes looks the same as I had with refcard:
dblatex/texlive cannot find its fonts (or at least *some*of*its* fonts).

You are right, the disabling of bullseye did not happen.
But there were no changings to bullseye's release-notes since then, so that
did not lead to any issue.
Anyway, I will do that now then, just for completeness.

I have tested, if we can use the same solution that I used for refcard
shortly, and that seems to work:
switch away from the CharisSIL fonts, to Freefont.
See attached patch.
I checked all formats for all languages, that are shown on the website
for bookworm's release-notes, and they all look fine to me.
So I think we have an upgrade path for this.
(I don't care, if the fonts look a bit different as before; bookworm reaches
its EndOfLive this month, so no problem at all.)

I will add cs to NOPDF languages for now.
Czech is not ready for publication anyway, because there was no translators
work since the conversion to Sphinx.
So the translation is at 0% translated currently.
