Could they be hidden in the USE=""extra" as Debian seems to have something similar sounding in such a package: http://packages.debian.org/fi/lenny/texlive-formats-extra "texsis -- Plain TeX macros for Physicists." Unfortunately I have USE="-extra" as they caused some trouble on Gentoo and I didn't really need them at that moment. -- Arttu V.
