Bug#173642: revtex must be in non-free!
Package: tetex-extra
Severity: serious
I believe that revtex cannot be distributed as part of main
as it does not allow sale of the software.. Here's an exerpt
from /usr/share/doc/tetex-extra/texmf/revtex/README.gz
revtex should be its own package and put in non-free.
