You are probably right.  We could fix this one, hope that it migrates to
testing in time, and also hope that the licensing stuff will be cleared
early enough to prevent its removal from etch.

Theppitak, do you have any news on the licensing?  Just for the record
and the archive, here's what you wrote to me in private:

Currently, I've got a positive response from the original author
(who is not working for NECTEC, the copyright holder, any more),
and a verbal agreement from an officer from NECTEC to ask for
endorsement from the authorized person.

Should I take tbhe current packages from

 http://linux.thai.net/~thep/debian/source/thailatex/

Yes, please do the interim upload. I'll release a new upstream
version soon when the relicensing is finalized.

Thank you,
