Last question first: yes. The list of "required" things in teTeX is
available in
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-tex/tetex-base/branches/new-splitting/debian/tetex-base.install?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
According to this, we have these problems:
- cyrillic is required, but in texlive-lang-cyrillic.
We should probably talk to the LaTeX team, but I think this can be
left out, since the people who want it will easily find it
- psnfss fonts should be in tl-latex-base (or it should depend on them),
all these are currently in tl-fonts-recommended except mathpazo stuff
(see below). (tl-fonts-extra also gives hits with the pattern in
tetex-base.install, but these two are not in teTeX and not required).
README.base35 should probably also be in tl-latex-base, it's only in tl-fonts-extra.
I'm not completely sure whether this is all of "required", but I think
so. Oh, no it isn't - graphics is missing. This could indicate that I
also wasn't through all the font things, but I would be surprised.
It would be really good to have this changed in texlive upstream. Do
you know which collections or tpm need to be moved? I guess we are
talking about the famous overcrowded "times.tpm" et al. This is the
list of font directories from tetex-base.install:
#
## indirect dependencies of required:
#
# psnfss font files 1 Base 35:
usr/share/texmf-tetex/fonts/tfm/adobe
usr/share/texmf-tetex/fonts/vf/adobe

usr/share/texmf-tetex/fonts/type1/urw
usr/share/texmf-tetex/doc/fonts/urw/base35
#

I'm not completely sure about the mathpazo stuff which is in
tl-latex-recommended.
