Arnaud,

    AL> Could you include this patch (or something that enable the
    AL> inclusion of .pstex_t files) in the graphics package (in
    AL> the dvips driver by example) ?

Debian is not likely to make changes to core LaTeX packages unless
those changes are made upstream.

I suggest that you 

  1. Leave this wishlist bug open

  2. Contact the maintainers of the graphics package -- the LaTeX
     3 team -- by filing a bug report against LaTeX

  3. If/when the change is made in LaTeX (next release is
     scheduled for June, 2002), it will be added to a release of
     teTeX, and will end up in Debian

  4. We can close the bug

You should check the current LaTeX bug database to ensure that no
one else has already filed your bug (or a similar bug) by going to
<http://www.latex-project.org/bugs.html>, anc clicking on the
``LaTeX bugs database'' link in the ``Secondly'' item.  (Sorry,
the actual URL is a bit unwieldy.)  That page also explains the
bug-filing procedure in some detail, summarized below:

   1. Run LaTeX on the file latexbug.tex, which you can find at

         /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/latexbug.tex

      on a Debian teTeX installation.

   2. Once you've answered the questions and included your
      ``patch'', mail the file latexbug.msg to
      <latex-bugs@latex-project.org>.


A second, perhaps easier, alternative, would be to create an
additional style that does what you want (perhaps by redefining
some things set by other files) that people can load in addition
to or instead of some of the other style files in the graphics
package.  License that file with a license that conforms to Debian
Free-Software Guidelines, and upload it to the Comprehensive TeX
Archive Network.
