Ok, here we go:

texlive-doc changes:

texlive-doc (2005.dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * add lintian override for wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog triggered
    by CHANGES.packaging
  * change maintainer to debian-tex-maint@l.d.o
  * report bugs together with tex-common, and report status of the
    tetex packages. Fix some small things in bug.scripts.

texlive-lang changes:
texlive-lang (2005.dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * add lintian override for wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog triggered
    by CHANGES.packaging
  * change maintainer to debian-tex-maint@l.d.o
  * report bugs together with tex-common, and report status of the
    tetex packages. Fix some small things in bug.scripts.
  * texlive-lang: blacklist (bin-)cslatex, (bin-)csplain, and 
    hyphen-czechslovak as they contain undistributable parts (the former 4)
    or depends on these parts (the last one).

The last change probably will create a bit of problems, but after
discussion with Frank I have decided that it is a good time to blacklist
cslatex and friends for now, since I am rebuilding .orig.tar.gz anyway.

This change means that there is *NO* support for czech and slovak
language in texlive. No hyphenation patterns (as they depend on
t1code.tex which is not distributable), no cslatex whatsoever.

If someone on the list has a different opinion, please speak up soon.

IF NOT I ASK SOMEONE TO UPLOAD THE PACKAGES!!!

Why: I really want to get them into testing wiht the new maintainer
address!


All packages are lintian clean, install old - upgrade - remove - install
- purge tested. See the log files. The sources .dsc and .changes are as
usual signed with my gpg key.

All is available at
	deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ check/
	deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ check/
(Take care, there is still also jadetex, xmltex, pgf, etc, packages
where I worked on NMUs).

The log files can be found as usual
	http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/log/

Georgia/Tbilisi for a summer school teaching. So I will have no or only
a bad internet connection from saturday on. That is also a reason why I
wanted to get the stuff out now.

Thanks a lot and all the best

Norbert
