This IMO is a policy issue: FSSTND (/usr/lib/texmf/) or FHS
(/usr/share/texmf)? Debian 2.0 isn't intended to be FHS compliant, but (as
far as I know) there are no real objections against a maintainer switching a
package from FSSTND to FHS locations. I don't think this should happen in
the deep freeze though.
So my opinion would be: move to /usr/share/texmf, but do so in slink.
