Bug#380034: Request for the inclusion of manyfoot.sty in tetex-extra

[ralph.amissah@gmail.com]

Package: tetex-base
Version: 3.0-20
Severity: wishlist

Request for the inclusion of manyfoot.sty in tetex-extra.

A number of scholarly writings need multiple footnote streams.

manyfoot.sty is a known and documented latex package: documented in The
LaTeX Companion 2nd ed. pages 122-125.  (it is currently to be found on
the Debian system I believe in texlive-latex-extra).

[there is some personal interest, sisu (sisu-pdf) has come to depend on
the presence of manyfoot.sty, and though there will be little problem
working with texlive, there seems no good reason why the choice of
either tetex or texlive should be precluded for this reason alone (i.e.
the lack of a useful and recognised latex "package" manyfoot in tetex)...
please].

Thanks,
Ralph Amissah
