Great to hear. Please don't forget that you can take a look at the work
I have done in preparing a test package, this is what I have done:
* add correct license statement into the copyright file and include
the list of covered files FILES (Closes: #364749)
* new upstream, fixing the compatibility problems (Closes: #357255)
* restrict the dependency to tetex >= 3.0, and add an additional
dependency on texlive-latex-recommended (Closes: #357008)
* adapt the debian files for the new location of the documentation files
cleaned up the rules files from unnecessary commented dh_calls
* fix the doc-base file to reference an existing pgfmanual.pdf
* exclude svg files from being compressed, otherwise html documentation
cannot be viewed (Closes: #360256)
* bump standards version to 3.7.2, no changes necessary
* change build-dep-indep to build-deps for dephelper
* add a lintian override file for the pseudo extra license file
usr/share/doc/texmf/latex/pgf/text-en/pgfmanual-en-license.tex.gz

Great. As soon as the two are uploaded and do not only depend on tetex,
I will blacklist the packages in Debian/TeX live and the next generation
will depend on the updated pgf/xcolor/beamer packages. For this it would
be great if you also could upload a latex-beamer package with updated
dependencies. I assume that
tetex-extra | texlive-latex-recommended
should do the trick.
Thanks a lot for all your work and cooperation!
