In my opinion, we need to try to reduce dependencies on tetex: ified or not, that tetex is too old and crufty for their typesetting needs. 2) People are busy, so coming up with a replacement package (e.g. texlive) isn't going to happen soon, most likely. 3) We could potentially try doing the dreaded third-party "system" scheme again, cf.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1795115&group_id=17203&atid=414256 but that of course has its own problems. So I'm proposing that, as an interim measure, we try to cut down on dependencies on tetex: A) Move the current/unstable doxygen to stable, since the tetex* dependency in that has now been foisted off on a separate documentation package, and therefore people won't wind up having tetex installed just because a package wants to build some _other_ form of documentation. B) Remove such a dependency from any package that can be configured by the user to pick a TeX engine. This is already the case for texshop, and our current LyX, for example.
