I proposed on the tetex-maint list to talk about splitting (and other
issues) after the potato release. Please read the archive on
www.debian.org.

That was the purpose of creating this list (tetex-maint), to have more
people getting aware of bug reports and help in providing
solutions. Fact is, there are some people who help and make
suggestions and I try to make new uploads from time to time. But we
have no real policy (yet?).

I have only few time to get into all these problems in detail, so I
really appreciate any help.

BTW: Thanks for the Bug Reporting Chart. I think it is a good idea and
at least I can include it in the next version of Debian tetex.
