Daobing, thanks for your valuable suggestions. Because the 2.0 tarball
does not allow cross-compilation of the data files and its pinyin
database has some known issues, so I packaged 2.0.1 tarball [1]
instead. Could you take look at it again?

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sunpinyin
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sunpinyin/sunpinyin_2.0.1-1.dsc
