If you look at http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/TEI/pizza.html, I was thinking
of separate compiled DTDs for each of the optional "base" tagsets (prose,
verse, drama, speech etc). Of course, the Debian build process could
create those if the distribution included the whole `pizza' system
(there is a command-line version of it, don't worry).

the recent "XAE" emacs packaging goes along these lines, but its tied
to Docbook rather.

not surprisingly, I can get it working easily. in fact, its easier
than jadetex, as it does not need a new format file each time the
packages changes.
note that passivetex shares files with jadetex, so it would make sense
to ship them together.
if I can do anything to make all this easier, just shout. I am
manically working on PassiveTeX at the moment, to get decent tables
(better than JadeTeX :-})
