Thanks for nothing!

Hmmm... Not too fast. I do not think your search was through enough and
I do not want people to think this is the right answer.

Short answer:
Use aptitude to chose and to install Japanese fonts recommended:
Tasks -> Localization -> Japanese desktop
ttf-sazanami-gothic
ttf-sazanami-mincho
ttf-vlgothic

The document by Estival Guillaume found by Dirk is about Etch (i.e., old
stable) as it is written there. It links to updated page for Sarge
(current stable) at:

http://dspnet.fr/~lonewolf/LinuxJapan/Howto_English_Japanese_woody.html

(Please do not ask me what is rationale for the choice of html file
name. It is strange.) Either case, these are old information.

Both pages refer to "Debian Reference", YES! my work :-)

The stable version is linked from main Debian site:
http://www.debian.org/
-> Documentation: http://www.debian.org/doc/
-> Debian Reference: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/

I think it is hard to miss these.

If you are looking for information for unstable, you should get unstable
version of "Debian reference" package. (debian-reference-en)

Its HTML is also published and it is a bit difficult to find.
http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/index.en.html

I hope chapter 8 and 9 should guide you to get you started on current
unstable:
http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/ch08.en.html
http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/ch09.en.html

I also suggest using Debian wiki resources at http://wiki.debian.org/
http://wiki.debian.org/JapaneseEnvironmentE
(I use SCIM instead of uim)

and no.. i'm still not interested in what you think about using
debian/unstable...

Well... FUN! FUN! FUN! and surprises.

I think we at Debian is volunteer project. Please understand our
limitation. I am not paid by anyone for these works.

Enjoy!

Osamu

PS: I am curious why you sounds so angry. You will get more help by
being more patient and friendly.
