I guess this is not so big problem. At least, TeXlive without
texlive-lang-polish and pTeX work together without any problem.
And ptex-bin/ptex-base and texlive-lang-polish conflict only
with /usr/bin/platex, as far as I know (could be platex.fmt?).
So Norbert's modification would be too much, in fact I build
normal ptex-base/ptex-bin which support texlive without any
modification except dependency and they work fine under texlive
(without texlive-lang-polish).
BTW, teTeX packages don't provide /usr/bin/platex but provide
only macros of Polish latex so, practically, there is no problem
and we've never gotten a bug report regarding co-existence of pTeX
and Polish latex as far as I know.
