Huuuuu?! This I missed then. But how do we solve the problems with order
of pathes in TEXMF? Search path order? I think this produces more
problems than it gains. Who wants to use teTeX and TeX live in parallel?

For config files the problem is different as the can stay even if the
packages is removed (but not purged), so they should be actually
separated from each other. But the normal files.

Well, I remember there was a bit of discussion on this. But I would say
this is not completely finished.

But again, maybe I missed something important. If yes, please tell me
quick as otherwise I will go for the sponsor these next few days. I have
rebuild the packages with the correct tex-common dependency...

Best wishes

Norbert
