Bug#269828: tetex-base: Provide script to purge old map files
Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2b-3
Severity: wishlist
README.Debian.gz, in the second major section, indicates there are a
bunch of map files that are no longer used, but that Debian policy
prohibits removing them.
Could you provide a script that removes them, for those who wish too?
There are also some documentation clarifications that would be useful.
First, should a thorough removal also modify
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-{base,extra}.conffiles? If so, how?
Second, has the change actually made all .map, .cfg, and .qf files in
the directory, or perhaps the directory itself, obsolete? What is the
change that obsoletes them, and is it Debian specific?
Thanks.

If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
