Bug#65429: boot-floppies installation stopped by tetex-bin bug

["Robert J. Chassell" <bob@rattlesnake.com>]

   > Package: boot-floppies
   > Version: 2.2.15
   >

   Wouldn't tetex-bin be the right place to file this bug? How can a package
   be held accountable for bugs on the packages it depends on?

But why is boot-floppies dependant on tetex-bin in the first place?
Surely you can create a system without loading all of TeX?  Not that I
am against TeX, I use it all the time, for printing Texinfo
documents.  But it is big.

Also, I thought that the problems with boot-floppies were holding back
this release: they are critical.

I will remind the tetex-bin maintainers that the bug is holding back
boot-floppies. 

Best wishes!  (I am using frozen very happily except for this
tetex-bin and boot-floppies problem.)
