There is already a package for that: ftp.debian.org.
The bad thing is that the ftp.debian.org virtual package does not
allow NMUs, so if the ftp.debian.org maintainers do not fix this,
it won't be fixed.
It's an unfortunate fact that a non-working TeX, for example, takes
nearly four months (after the maintainer upload) to be fixed
in the stable CD images.
Are they really so busy?
