Now I'm wondering why we currently have a blank line for (e.g.)
texlive-base's "hyphen-base" and "misc" packages where the oldstable
version gave them descriptions - compare:

	http://packages.debian.org/sid/texlive-base
	http://packages.debian.org/lenny/texlive-base

Is this related to the fact that a CTAN search finds no such package
names?  If so, I don't see how I'm meant to take the fix upstream...
