FWIW, Debian and Ubuntu have a package ‘devscripts’ which includes a

much as i can set the path)
I was briefly confused as to why I (and other Ubuntu users) have never
had a problem with setuptex... then I remembered that while sh links
to dash (because it's fast), bash is still used explicitly as the
default *login* shell (because it's featureful). So ‘source setuptex’
has always worked for me but would presumably give trouble in a
non-login shell. Don't know how Debian does it.
It somehow also works for me (i occasionally use a xubuntu vm) using ".
setuptex" but that doesn't seem to work from another script.
