I would think that we should have anything people need to use the
programs in tetex-bin in tetex-base.  That would probably include
the base and required parts of LaTeX, though, so maybe wouldn't be
small enough for some people (tetex-base does appear to include
some significant subset of LaTeX, however).

At the least, it should contain all of the configuration and
direct support files needed to run the main programs, especially
since people are clearly depending on tetex-bin to get
pdftex/pdflatex and having breakage because tetex-bin only
``Suggests'' tetex-extra.
