tetex-bin description



Hi,

I'd like to offer a tetex-bin control file change to make finding laTeX tools easier. The description currently says:

"This package contains all the
 programs belonging to teTeX, i.e. the (La)TeX compiler itself, and
 variants like pdf(La)TeX, e-TeX etc."

A change to:

"varients like pdfTeX, pdfLaTeX, e-TeX, etc."

would mean users could 'apt-cache search pdflatex' and find the package. As it was, I didn't remember pdflatex was part of the core LaTex package, and couldn't find that information without access to another machine that already had the package installed by somebody else.

Thanks very much,

Daniel
