IIRC no.

We had a short discussion about that in april. Please refer to the
archive of debian-tetex-maint.

IIRC you should just install your files into the normal texmf-tree,
like it is done e.g. by pdfscreen, latex_ucs etc. and call texhash in
postin.

H. 

BTW:

pdfscreen: /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/truncate.sty
drachi:[hille] >head /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc/truncate.sty
% truncate.sty  ver 3.5   15-Aug-2000    Donald Arseneau
% This LaTeX program is released to the public domain.
%
% Truncate text to a specified width:  \truncate[marker]{width}{text}
%
% If the text is too wide to fit in the specified width, then it is
% truncated, and a continuation marker is shown at the end. The default
% marker, used when the optional "[marker]" parameter is omitted, is
% "\,\dots".  You can change this default by redefining "\TruncateMarker"
% ("\renewcommand{\TruncateMarker}{}").

That one?
