Bug#95995: 3rd party information

[Kaz Sasayama <Kaz.Sasayama@HyperLinuxJP.com>]

I use normally tetex-bin installed and tetex-extra removed (after once 
installed) for pdftex.  This happens to be possible because of 
tetex-extra removes no *.fmt files. :)  So I think pdftex/pdflatex 
depends on tetex-extra no more than normal tex/latex does.  Although I 
do not use pdflatex, I believe pdftex accepts normal TeX input files and 
just produces output in PDF instead of DVI as normal tex does.  (As you 
see, if an input file requires tetex-extra even normal tex can depend on 
it.)
