Okay, now this is clear. As for the pts, I don't think it is
particularly helpful now the package is in Debian, but that is Mickael's
and your decision.
The tetex should in fact be dropped, because in a couple of weeks we're
going to have tex-live packages in Debian, and AFAIK Norbert wants to
exclude all the stuff that already has a Debian package. Therefore,
cm-super should be made to work with both tetex and texlive (which is
easy if you follow the drafted Debian TeX Policy), if possible.
