This list is about maintaining teTeX for Debian, not about maintaining
all TeX related packages.

You could use the TeX live for Debian packages (which hopefully go into
experimental soon), please read about it on
http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html
(or follow this list, there are regular updates). pdfscreen is contained
in texlive-pdfetex.

Can you send me the list of what is of interest for you? Probably all of
them are present in the TeX live packages.

Yes, because this group is about teTeX.

I - i.e. the TeX live for Debian maintainer(s) - need help. Help is
greatly appreciated. You can check out the current code for the
conversion function from pkg-texlive svn repository on alioth.
If you are more in helping teTeX, check out the pkg-tetex svn repository
at alioth. For all of these projects there are TODOs, bugs, we greatly
appreciate if you could hunt some down, send patches,...
Best wishes and hope to see you around here again!
