--- Begin Message ---Package: texlive-lang Version: 2007.dfsg.3-1 Severity: normal The names of some of the packages provided by texlive-lang are very confusing. For instance, «texlive-lang-spanish» clearly refers to a single language, but includes hyphen patterns for other languages such as Catalan and Galician[1]. Similarly, «texlive-lang-french» contains Basque. I don't really get the rationale behind the package names. Mixing languages and countries is wrong, so please provide packages for each of these languages. Also, it would be interesting to know what's so different between the languages that have their own package and other languages that are included in a collection package (such as «texlive-lang-other»). (Sorry if I missed it, but I couldn't find relevant documentation in the source package.) Thanks. 1. And even worse, these languages aren't mentioned in the package description. That means someone looking for Catalan or Galician will not find any meaningful results.

--- Begin Message ---This is an ancient bug and nobody has stepped forward to suggest better collection names to TeX Live, thus, as we will surely keep the naming of the Debian packages in line with upstream, I am closing this bug.
