Now the packages are in extras repository. To install hebrew on OS2008 (chinook or diablo), just make sure maemo extras repository is enabled, and install the hebrew package.

This will install the packages
* hebrew (Hebrew layout for vkb and N810 hardware keyboard),
* him-arabic (a different on screen keyboard, with Hebrew layout),
* culmus (Hebrew fonts) and
* locale-resolver-extra (for displaying Hebrew and Arabic language names in the menus).

Each of the latter three packages is also installable by itself.

Please report to me any problems, suggest improvements, etc.
