Well, you're right. But on the other hand, fixing tetex-base without
also changing tetex-bin would still have left a bug in tetex-bin: Namely
that it tried to fiddle with permissions of directories of tetex-base.
In this case I was aware of it, and currently tetex is very actively
developed. But this might not be the case all the time, and for every
package. In order not to forget one part of the story, I think the
better way would have been something like
clone 267896 -1
retitle -1 tetex-bin should not handle tetex-base's /var/cache/fonts/*
reassign 267896 tetex-base
Currently, _both_ things are fixed in unstable.
Tschüß, Frank
