picinpar.sty was removed from the tetex-extra package because it
had copyright information and no license statement that allowed us
to distribute it.

There's now a version that is licensed under the GPL that's in
Thomas Esser's upstream source, so it will be included in the next
version of tetex-extra that's based on Thomas's new texmf tree.  I
don't yet know when we'll make the switch -- we may wait until
Thomas makes an ``official'' release (the most current tree is
beta).

Yes, and as far as I can tell, all of the style files in tetex-src
are included in tetex-base or tetex-extra except for the ones that
were removed because of license problems.

If you can provide me with a list of style files that are in
tetex-src and are not in tetex-base or tetex-extra, and that are
also not listed in /usr/share/doc/tetex-base/Debian.README, please
do, and I'll see that they're included in future releases.

(To save you time, the packages that were removed were

   algorithm.sty        euler.sty         
   algorithmic.sty      footbib.sty 
   beton.sty            fvrb-ex.sty 
   booktabs.sty         picinpar.sty
   caption.sty

along with the Sueterlin and Old German font packages.  Most of
these will be back in a future upstream release.)
