Feel free to close it (please include the mail from Radim in the closing
message).

Christoph is the one who does normally upload the packages and who does
most of the work. There are others like you and me who help a bit (e.g. by
trying to fix bugs). If you really know a bug is fixed or not a bug you
can close it. You can upload new packages, but please inform this list
before so work isn't done twice (and the others can perhaps check the
packages before uploading).

I didn't really follow the discussion of this bug. If there's perhaps a
reason to check/unset a TEXMF environment variable in the preinst of
tetex-bin, that's a reason not to close this bug. That's what I meant with
"really know a bug is fixed or not a bug" above. If in doubt, don't close
^^^^^^
the bug.
