Definitely!

Definitely not in a few days as i am in Vietnam without svn access.
Frank: If you want you can do an upload, just add
blacklist;tpm;feynmf;*
to the cfg file (if feynmf is the right tpm name). Then we have to add something like
recommends;texlive-metapost;feynmf (>= ???)
(version necessary???) and maybe something like
depends;texlive-full;feynmf
I guess this should be enough. If you need more info let me know, otherwise I do it in two weeks.
Best wishes
Norbert
