I can confirm this with a pbuilder build.

It (at least the upstream CVS) depends already on
latex-cjk-chinese-arphic-bkai00mp and latex-cjk-all which itself depends
on latex-cjk-chinese.

I can build it well in my etch system but pbuilder still has issues with
zh-tw:
debiandoc2latexpdf: ERROR: reference.zh-tw.pdf could not be generated properly
debiandoc2latexpdf: rerun with the -v option to found out why
debiandoc2latexpdf: or check the log file reference.zh-tw.log
make[1]: *** [reference.zh-tw.pdf] Error 1
make[1]: *** [reference.zh-tw.pdf] Error 1

I need to play with pbuilder to obtain the log file ...
"pbuilder debuild" started in the source directory doesn't try to build
the package.

No, outside pbuilder it works well.
