Linuxdoc-SGML clashes / dependencies with TeX packages

[K J MacDonald <kenny@festival.ed.ac.uk>]

[ linuxdoc-sgml is what Matt Welsh developed for HOWTO and LDP book
  maintainers to keep to a standard style, and produce HTML, PS, ASCII,
  etc. ] 

I'm trying to upload linuxdoc-sgml-1.2-1.deb, but ftp.debian.org is not
accepting ftp connections at the moment.  Anyway, I thought I'd raise a
few points I found while building the package...

linuxdoc-sgml.sty, qwertz.sty, null.sty and epsf.tex are required by
this package for its LaTeX support.  The first two are installed in
/usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex by my postinst script.  The second two are
already on my Debian system, in one form or another.

	texlib: /usr/lib/texmf/tex/plain/null.tex
	dvips: /usr/lib/texmf/tex/dvips/epsf.sty

Nils, could you also include an empty null.sty file in the TeX
distribution?  In the meantime, I'm touching one in
/usr/lib/texmf/tex/plain in postinst and removing it in my prerm.

I don't see the value in adding an epsf.sty file if there's no dvips
package installed, so I'm going to make linuxdoc-sgml promote dvips to
a recommended package, along with LaTeX.

Any advice, ideas?

Kenny.
