I hope to be ready with an upload to experimental (if my sponsor finds
time for doing the upload), the first one.

No, I notice. I guess it is too late for checking all this for the first
upload to experimenta, but on my agenda is the following: As soon as
texlive is in debian (experimental or unstable) and the big waves of
trillions of bugs are gone, I want to go through the tex packages in
debian and check wether they are compatible with texlive *and* provide
superior functionality (like with cm-super, which provides X11 fonts,
too). In this case I normally blacklist a package from texlive and
depend instead on the the respective package in debian.
Best wishes
Norbert

PITSLIGO (n.)
Part of traditional mating rite. During the first hot day of spring,
all the men in the tube start giving up their seats to ladies and
staphanging. The purpose of pitsligo is for them to demonstrate their
manhood by displaying the wet patches under their arms.
