Severity: serious
I believe that revtex cannot be distributed as part of main
as it does not allow sale of the software.. Here's an exerpt
from /usr/share/doc/tetex-extra/texmf/revtex/README.gz
revtex should be its own package and put in non-free.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% RESTRICTIONS ON USE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Distribution of unchanged versions:
