Hi Roberto,
hi Norbert - I'm CC'ing you because this is about the "alternative
dependency on tetex and texlive" issue.

I guess cdcover can be used with the texlive TeX distribution as well
as with TeTeX. As texlive is in Debian (and TeTeX is discontinued),
please allow texlive as an alternative dependency for cdcover. The
latex-ucs package also does this, for example.
Ok, fine. The only problem is that I don't know anything about
Texlive, and I don't know if there is possible to substitute each tetex-*
package for the equivalent in texlive. I.e., could this "Depends" line be the
right one?
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, tetex-bin | texlive-bin, tetex-base |
texlive-base, tetex-extra | texlive-extra
Two of the texlive packages you list there do not exist, texlive-bin
and texlive-extra. This would be texlive-base-bin for tetex-bin, but I
think for tetex-extra there is no direct equivalent texlive package.
I googled for the issue because contrary to my first impression the
solution isn't as straightforward as for latex-ucs, which only depends
on one tetex package. Norbert, the current texlive maintainer, has a
page on these issues: http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html. He
recommends
tetex-base | texlive-latex-recommended, tetex-bin | texlive-base
for base and bin, but I don't know about extra.
I'm not at my Debian system currently, so I cannot investigate right
now what part of tetex-extra cdcover needs. I'll find out, then I can
look up in which texlive package it is contained, or if I don't manage,
I'll ask you, Norbert.
Cheers,
Thomas
P.S. Norbert, you put up several packages with such alternative texlive
dependencies in your repo at http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/updpkg/,
but you didn't file bugs against some of them (e.g. plywood). Do you
intend to do this, so that the updated versions get into Debian proper?
