If you want to build boot-floppies, you have to install tetex. If you
cannot install tetex, that is a bug in tetex, not boot-floppies. Plain and
simple. Although there is no way it is holding up boot-floppies
considering *every* (and that means all 6) one of the archs releasing with
potato have built boot-floppies 2.2.15. They are in the archive, go check.
So, it is not holding up anything.
