I had a look at README.Debian and found that it would not be really good
to just add an other remark. Therefore I restructured the text, and
suggest that the new version replace the old.
Note that I changed my mind with respect to pdfcrypt.sty - since it is
removed upstream, we can as well do it in our packages now.
Comments wellcome. By the way, I will not be able to work a lot on tetex
the next days: I'm travelling to my parents-in-law this weekend, no
internet access (or at least no time) there. I will be back at home on
Monday and Tuesday, but from Wednesday 14th to Monday 18th I'll be away
again - we will celebrate our wedding in church and with big family
(I've been married before the law for two years now, but no time for a
big feast yet). I don't think I will have time for internet access
there.
So here comes README.debian:

Most of the topics relevant for users and developers, like how to
install and register additional (La)TeX packages, fonts etc., are
covered in the README files of the sister package, tetex-bin, in
/usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/.
1. Differences between Upstream: Added and removed files
========================================================
Since the release of teTeX 2.0.2, some of the files in the upstream
tarball where found to have no proper license statement, or a license
that does not meet the criteria of the Debian Free Software Guidelines
(DFSG). Therefore we cannot distribute those files. Usually the files
were promptly removed from the binary packages (the *deb files). In
July 2004 we decided to also remove them from the orig.tar.gz file,
because we didn't want to release non-free files into sarge, even not
in the source package.
We are working with the upstream teTeX author (Thomas Esser) and with
the authors of these packages to resolve these issues so that these
files can be included in future Debian teTeX packages - the fact that
some could be re-added now is an indication that this makes sense :-)
Luckily, the criteria upstream (Thomas Esser) uses are consistent with
the DFSG. Therefore we could backport the changes made to the
(unreleased) upstream tarball in the meantime. Some files had to be
removed completely. Others could be replaced by updated ones from CTAN
that now have their license clarified or adjusted. In the case of
updates, either only the license was changed, or there were only minor
bugfixes. In some cases, we could add back files that were in the
upstream tarball, but removed by Debian before the first release of
2.0.2, and are free now. As a goody, we have added one hyphenation
file, the patterns for catalan, although they never were in the 2.0.2
upstream tarball.
Below is a list of files that have been removed, updated and re-added
in 2004. Detailed information on each removal can be found in the bug
reports indicated. Further below you can find a list of files that
had been removed before even in the first Debian package of tetex-2.0.2

2. Changes in handling of conf(iguration )files
-----------------------------------------------
The following files in /etc/texmf/dvips/ used to be conffiles (i.e.,
configuration files managed by dpkg) in older versions of tetex-base
and tetex-extra (e.g. in woody), but are not included and not used in
current versions. Because of Debian Policy and dpkg's way to handle
conffiles, they will not be removed when you upgrade, although they
are useless. You can quite safely delete them (but then you won't be
able to downgrade any more unless you purge the packages). Any changes
you made previously in these files will no longer have any effect.
antp.cfg antt.cfg pl.cfg
config.qf
ar-ext-adobe-bi.map ar-ext-adobe-kb.map ar-ext-urw-kb.map
ar-ext-urw-urw.map ar-std-adobe-bi.map ar-std-adobe-kb.map

raw-ar-std-adobe-kb.map raw-ar-std-urw-kb.map raw-ar-std-urw-urw.map
raw-lw35extra-adobe-bi.map raw-lw35extra-adobe-kb.map
raw-lw35extra-urw-kb.map raw-lw35extra-urw-urw.map utopia.map
Some intermediate versions of tetex deleted those files in maintainer
scripts (which was a bug). Therefore, if you used testing, unstable or
some backports after woody's release, they might not exist on your
system (but still be registered in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-{base,extra}.conffiles).
3. Construction of tetex-base_2.0.2a.orig.tar.gz from the upstream
tarball
The tarball as upstream provides it is not suitable for inclusion in a
debian package, because it does not unpack in it's own directory, but
rather in the current directory (assuming that the current directory
is a TEXMF directory). We therefore had to reconstruct the orig.tar.gz
This is what needs to be done to construct the orig.tar.gz from the
upstream tarball:
a) create a directory tetex-base-2.0.2a/texmf/
b) unpack the upstream tetex-texmf tarball into this directory
c) Use the script "remove-bad-license-files -src" to remove bad
license files from orig.tar.gz. This should also be done again if we
upgrade the upstream version. The script reports filenames of already
removed files in upstream source.
d) Since we keep the sources in a CVS repository, which cannot handle
symlinks, those have been removed from the orig.tar.gz. To do this,
run "restore-symlinks -rm" in the original source tree. The same
script is called in the build process to restore the symlinks.
We maintain our teTeX packages with CVS and anyone can check out the
latest CVS tree with the following command cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/tetex co tetex-base
and a blank password.
