Why not, or we just create one rule file for each package and manage
them by hand... but then, this can be done when it is really
complicated.

Aehhmm, Sorry, I have no idea about the ucf stuff.

Why not, good idea. This should be doable. Some eperl magic from
included in all/debian/rules.in which includes files if they are
present.

;-) I saw your comment!
BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Do all these changes in the current REAL texlive, not texlive-new! Or
better in both. The -new is still to experimental AND DOES NO WORK!!!
My perl is just to bad:
If someone can help:
in tpm2debcommon.pm:
sub myopen() {
my ($fd,$fn) = @_;
open($fd,$fn) or die("vaf...\n");
}
but this doesn't work if I do in tpm2deb-source.pl:
myopen(FOO,"<blaa");
because reading gives nothing. Some error with -w. Damned.
Thats the reason why the -source script does not work, it produces
completely empty stuff
Any ideas?

Good.
