Hi Thierry,

thank you for the patch.  I have some critical remarks, though, with my
TeX maintainer hat on:

- texdoctk does not exist at all (it once existed pre-potato), and it
  never provided pdflatex.  It still exists as an executable in
  tetex-bin and texlive-base-bin, but it is a Perl-TK interface to TeX
  documentation

- tetex will be dropped in lenny, all dependencies in etch should have
  an alternative on the respective texlive packages.  For sbaz, this
  probably means

  tetex-bin | texlive-latex-base, tetex-extra | texlive-fonts-recommended

  but actually there's no simple rule for tetex->texlive mappings.  You
  have to try, maybe it needs more packages.  If it builds documentation
  in other languages than english, it needs the respective
  texlive-lang-* package.

- finally (but this has nothing to do with Debian packaging): times.sty
  is obsolete (since about 10 years), mathptmx.sty should be used
  instead. 

Regards, Frank
