Hi both of you:
I have moved README.Debian.sgml to
tex-common doc/TeX-on-Debian.sgml
and have added TeX live stuff. Furthermore, I have added installation
stuff, but didn't test it till now.
I attach a diff between the two files (README.Debian.sgml and
TeX-on-Debian.sgml) for your review.
Best wishes
Norbert
