Still? You had 0.99.3-0.1 and 0.99.3-0.2 before.

Well, I would at least include the (not activated) map file and a script
to create the links in TEXMFLOCAL. One could argue though, that one
should do only this /now/. Since people won't get sufficient warning
when using the old names, it might be better to let the system break and
tell them how to fix it. Opinions?
BTW, for the 'let it break and tell people what to do approach' it would
be nice if one option where 'install texlive-context and adjust
TEXMFDIST. Currently, it is not possible to do this since
texlive-context depends on
texlive-base | tetex-base, texlive-pdfetex, tex-common (>= 0.12),
texlive-metapost
Would it be possible to change this to
texlive-base | tetex-base, texlive-pdfetex | tetex-bin, tex-common (>=
0.12), texlive-metapost | tetex-bin
or does ConTeXt use features of the newer pdfTeX and MetaPost?
