Except for the space required to duplicate both tetex and texlive,
that seems very intelligent. Feel free to take the scripts I've
written for the pkg-tetex repository and modify them for this
purpose.
I presume that we continue to use svn.debian.org (aka alioth)?
Can we continue to use the existing tetex list? It's well known and
appears in the control files of the tetex packages. We could have a
new list: debian-tex-maint instead, though.
