I like pdfpages and do use it from time to time (as frequently as
every couple of weeks for filling expense/travel/claim forms) -
but in fact it isn't shipped with tetex 1.0 and is not in the
site-wise LaTeX installation in my work location.
(and luckily I am not using the site-wise one...). I checked and
pdfpages was added to tetex in Oct 2001 and is in tetex 2.0 which
was released in feb 2003; but sites could be slow in upgrading...
so such constructions would break on sites which hasn't upgraded
their LaTeX installation in the last 3 years.
