Hmm, I forwarded your email to Jörg Sommer who is the maintainer of the
Debian xindy package, maybe he knows more.

I would suggest that you send a diff against current TL (if possible, ie
if you have a checkout of our svn repo), otherwise simply of all the
files you have changed, and I will merge them into our distribution.
I guess we can simply add
	texmf/tex/latex/xindy/xindy.sty
(I am a bit surprised that xindy has all its file in texmf and not
texmf-dist).

Best wishes

Norbert

ERIBOLL (n.)
A brown bubble of cheese containing gaseous matter which grows on
welsh rarebit. It was Sir Alexander Flemming's study of eribolls which
led, indirectly, to his discovery of the fact that he didn't like
welsh rarebit very much.
