This is tangent to the bug at hand, but I think it doesn't really matter when those packages enters testing. My understanding is that when you uploaded those two packages at the the same time, the upgrade path in unstable is immediately broken. Although broken upgrade in unstable only is usually not a big problem. > > Norbert, is it possible to add proper Replaces for Debian's texlive- > > formats-extra package?

No, Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy) was released with texlive-base 2007-10. > Anyway, tell me and I will add it to the Debian pacakges next upload. We need this Replaces relation for a smooth gutsy->hardy upgrade. So if you can add it to the Debian texlive-formats-extra package (though I don't what exact version of texlive-latex-base it should replace), it would be very helpful.
