I see, so tetex-extra-fonts is a subset of tetex-extra
and only intended for use without tetex packages, I guess.

Then I fell the description a bit misleading...(but I'm not
native speaker, so I would be wrong.)

+Description: Additional Type1-fonts for teTeX
+ This package contains the afm- and pfb-files of some postscript fonts
+ from Adobe, Bitstream, URW etc. It was split off, to provide other
+ packages with these fonts.

"Additional Type1-fonts for teTeX" and "It was split off"
are a natural in that case?  

# To me, it sounds like an explanation for mutually disjoint 
# packages.

Also I suspect that there is a request to split tetex-* 
into smaller packages so there could be another approach
which split tetex-extra into tetex-extra without type1
fonts and tetex-extra-fonts with type1 fonts only.
Is it already discussed on this approach?

Sorry for my misunderstanding and bothering you again.
