I tried to make as few thihngs hardcoded as possible. Best is always to
take a look at the makefile. A
make all
should do
- build orig.tar.gz if necessary (ie if deb version >1)
- build the debian source packages
- build the binary packages in a clean pbuilder
- lintian all packages
- test all packages
- make a switch test tetex->texlive

Better to do the later one. Or get a texlive CD (image) from teh web.
and build it yourself. But DON'T get the current texlive tree (from svn)
as it already contain changes which are not on the CD.
