Since this is a Debian package description (explaining the purpose
of preview-latex-style*.deb) it needs to be clear that preview isn't
a package in that sense.
The purpose of the preview LaTeX package is the extraction of selected
(Prospective users can take it for granted that the purpose of
preview-latex-style*.deb is to provide preview...)

Wait, is that saying "Current uses of the preview-latex-style Debian
package include the preview-latex LaTeX package (and some other
things)"? What if anything is the difference between preview and
preview-latex?
I'm not happy with the organisation of the list, but I can't fix
that until I work out how the packages fit together...
It's clear enough that ps4pdf etc are LaTeX rather than Debian
packages, but looking up ps4pdf on CTAN I see it's deprecated in
favour of pst-pdf. Any danger of text going out of date?
