We should consider this, so I opened a bug report. texlive-minimal is for sure not the correct name for the current "texlive" binary package. With that name, every developer would assume that it's some minimal collection needed for building of autogenerated input files (that's the only connection most non-TeX-addict Debian developers have with TeXLive). texlive-medium doesn't sound very nice to me. Other suggestions?
