future uploads of tetex-bin together with -base?

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Hi all,

I must say that I have not yet been able to get a thorough overview of
all the bugs that have been resolved by Atsuhitos/Hilmars uploads, and
of the bugs still open.

On the other hand, I have some small changes waiting here locally,
especially a fix for #248308, which would require updating tetex-bin and
-base simultaneously, again. What do you think - should I commit these
patches?

Regards, Frank
