It turned out that I forgot to update the sources.list line to "stable"
after re-copying it from the web page.

debian-hebrew installed smoothly after fixing that.

It could be that my mistake was to use "aptitude" (in the first
time) instead of apt-get (the second time).

Yes it will in this instance.
I was just thinking of generalizing the command-line switch
idea and allowing the user to enable/disable each part
(and now that I think of the implementation it might be nice to
have each part in a script of its own with "hebrew-settings"
meraly running all the requested scripts).

Are you talking about that applet which shows the flag of the
"current keyboard country" on the kicker panel? I tried it but
couldn't convince it to configure Alt-Shift to swtich layouts.
